Project Brief

Near real-time pathogen detection in ambient air

Airborne viral detection is a systems engineering challenge due to extremely low pathogen concentrations in ambient air. This scientific study outlines an integrated bio-sensor architecture that combines high-flow aerosol capture with on-chip isothermal amplification to enable near-real-time detection at the point of sampling
