ABSTRACT
A global pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 was caused around the world. The virus is highly contagious and rapidly spreads. Early detection of the virus is crucial to prevent its spread and control outbreaks. Owing to the drawbacks of waiting time and high cost involved in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, low-cost and accurate detection setups with the possibility of being realized as portable systems are desirable. In this study, we examined the feasibility of using a small spectrometer in conjunction with optical biosensors as a measurement system. According to the experimental results related to different concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 ranging from 106 to 102 copies/mL, the surface-mounted device (SMD) size spectrometer and benchtop fiber-optic spectrometer showed good agreement, demonstrating the possibility of using tiny spectrometers to detect the virus at different concentrations using optical biosensors. © 2022 ACM.
