The research project by Sandrine Gerber, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, has developed a screening device that integrates a DNA embedded into a microfluidic platform. The collected saliva samples circulate through a pre-treatment chamber where SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA is extracted and a screening chamber containing the DNA biosensor for recognition of the viral gene sequence. If the sample contains SARS-CoV-2, it emits an electrical signal. This test method enables rapid testing with high specificity in a non-medical environment such as mobile test stations.
