On-the-spot Detection of Airborne Viruses Enabled by a 3d-printed Interface Between an Aerosol Collector and a Microfluidic Device
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Detection of airborne viruses is crucial for the implementation of effective methods to stop their transmission chain, as demonstrated in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic.The pandemic also highlighted a need for testing methods that allow a faster turnaround from sample collection to result.This paper reports on a testing system that can carry out aerosol collection and on-the-spot detection, enabled by a low-cost, 3D printed interface that integrates a collector with a microfluidic detector.
