"Scientists Develop Rapid COVID Air Monitor for Indoor Settings, Detects Virus in 5 Minutes"

Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a novel air monitor that can detect COVID-19 virus variants within indoor spaces in as little as five minutes. The monitor, which can be installed in various settings such as hospitals, airports, and office spaces, utilizes a micro-immunoelectrode biosensor that detects the spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The device, currently at the proof-of-concept stage, has shown promising results in detecting virus particles in contaminated rooms and has the potential to provide real-time data to help people make informed decisions about their safety in crowded indoor environments. The research team is working towards commercializing the air monitor in the near future.

"Breakthrough Air Monitor Detects COVID-19 Virus in Just 5 Minutes"

Scientists at Washington University have developed a real-time air monitor that can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses in a room within 5 minutes. The device, based on wet cyclone technology, samples a large volume of air and uses a biosensor to detect the virus. It has the potential to be used in hospitals, schools, and public places to ensure real-time monitoring of viral presence and improve safety measures. The team is also planning to expand its capabilities to detect other pathogens.

Breakthrough Air Monitor Detects COVID-19 and Other Viruses in Real-Time

Researchers at Washington University have developed an air monitor that can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, in just five minutes. The monitor works by pulling a high volume of air into the device and uses a sensor to detect viral particles. The researchers plan to commercialize the monitor for use in public spaces like hospitals and schools to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. They also aim to expand its capabilities to detect other pathogens in the future.
