Covid-19 Diagnostic Technologies

Bys: Shaffaf, Tina and Ghafar-Zadeh, Ebrahim

COVID-19 Diagnostic Technologies covers diagnostic tests and sensing technologies, their characteristics, and limitations for the detection and diagnosis of COVID-19.

The book focuses on laboratory or portable based sensing technologies aims and the potential benefit of promising low-cost and portable strategies for accurate detection of the viral diseases.

COVID-19 Diagnostic Technologies opens with introduction and reviews the virology of SARS-CoV-2. It goes on to discuss nucleic acid-based tests for viral RNA detection which covers PCR-based tests, Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification, DNA-microarray-based tests, and sequencing-based tests. Protein-based tests, which include neutralizing antibodies, serological tests, and antigenic tests, are also discussed. The book concludes with novel strategies for viral detection like emerging biosensors, nanotechnology, and the role of new digital technologies.
