Abstract

It is imperative to prevent from the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to end the global pandemic. Rapid and field-deployable testing of acute infection is one of the effective ways to control the spread of the virus. The gold standard is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based nucleic acid testing, which takes time and requires lab personnel and equipment. Testing of viral antigens is simpler and faster, which can be used for rapid initial screening. This talk will show a fluorescent paper-based test strip for measuring COVID-19 viral antigens in saliva.
