Paper-Based Point-Of-Care Biosensor for Covid-19

ABSTRACT

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has developed into a universal pandemic. The harmful effects of corona virus have provoked the advance of diagnostic tools to supervise the spread of disease. While conservative technologies have been mostly used to detect COVID-19, they are protracted, manual and are unavailable in distant settings. Point-of-care (POC) biosensors, including paper-based biosensors are characteristicallylow-priced and accessible, which presentincredibleprospective for speedy medical diagnosis. In view of the risinginsist for quick diagnosis of COVID-19, a mini review that summarizes the currentadvancement in developing POC biosensors for COVID-19 is exceedinglyattractive. In this article, the most modern advances in POC biosensors, including paper-based biosensors for the recognition of COVID-19 infection are reviewed.
