The Wyss Institute is developing methods of capturing the CoV2 particles and then using them to quickly identify them within an hour. Also, they are finding ways to use bioinspired DNA nanotechnology that will enable people to detect viral RNA and proteins in a sample that is inserted into a take-home device. This advancement is being tested in a “Lateral-Flow-Device (LFD)” which is easy to mass-produce and distribute. It would be a disposable test that uses nanotechnology to then change the color of nitrocellulose paper which can help people test whether or not they have coronavirus during this time of crisis.
