Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, June 20 (Reporter Liu Xia) According to the latest issue of 《ACS Nano》, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) have successfully used graphene to detect NCP in the laboratory. The researchers said the discovery could be a breakthrough in NCP detection, promisingly rapid detection of NCP and its variant strains.
The lead author of the latest study and head of the chemical engineering department at UIC's School of Engineering, Vikas Berry, said: "We have been developing graphene sensors for many years. Previously, we have developed graphene detectors that specifically detect cancer cells and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Now we have developed the Graphene NCP detector, a sensor that can detect the NCP quickly and accurately at a low price, and has many advantages over many current detection methods."
