Developing a point-of-care diagnostic test specific for SARS-CoV-2 using surface acoustic waves with Dr. Marco Bisoffi

Testing for SARS-CoV2 has become a cornerstone activity in the COVID-19 pandemic. Two major testing platforms are the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is RNA-based, and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which is antibody-based. In this lecture, Dr. Marco Bisoffi will present a point-of-care device that can do both.
