Virus detection at the point-of-care facility has become an alarming topic in the research community. The latest coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the limitations of current conventional virus detection methods. Compared to nonelectrochemical sensors, electrochemical sensors provide the ideal platform for rapid, cheap, fast, sensitive, and selective diagnosis of several viruses, particularly at point-of-care facilities. This article highlights the most promising studies reported over the past decade to detect a broad spectrum of viruses using voltammetry, amperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
