"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.
