News updates: nano-based diagnostics for COVID-19

Nanotechnology is being used at surface-level for the development of COVID-19 tests. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein provides a target for visualization and nano-based technologies are able to identify this protein in a more rapid and accurate way than current diagnostics being used. This article shows a timeline of the efforts of different research and biotechnology groups in making these tests available as soon as possible.   Evaluation of serological tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 A team of scientists from Institut Pasteur, the CNRS, Inserm and Université de Paris (all France) have undertaken a study to evaluate the current tests for diagnosing...
