  • Rapid airborne viral sensor and methods related thereto
    Patent number: 12730087
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a device and method for the rapid detection (within seconds) of viruses and virions (proteins and nucleic acids) found in novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and other viruses through testing of an air sample. The device can be used at front line, hospitals, clinical laboratories, airports, groceries, homes, and the like. The device can be used as a single probe for single use or home use for fast detection of multiple samples simultaneously. The present invention would facilitate multiple testing at times of pandemics caused by airborne viruses when a large number of samples have to be tested in short periods of time.
    Type: Grant

  • Rapid viral diagnostic sensor
    Patent number: 11060995
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a device and method for the rapid detection (within seconds) of viruses and virions (proteins and nucleic acids) found in novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and other pandemic viruses. The device can be used at front line, hospitals, clinical laboratories, airports, groceries, homes, and the like. The device can be used as a single probe for single use or home use, or the device integrated into a carrousel or multiple probe magazine for fast detection of multiple samples simultaneously. This carrousel would facilitate multiple testing at times of pandemics when a large number of samples have to be tested in short periods of time.
