Scientists from the Celestial Empire have created a mask that detects covid in the air. This technology can be used in the fight against the virus and other pathogens.
This device is a sensor built into an ordinary N95 mask. The sensor is highly sensitive to influenza and COVID-19 virus proteins. It finds these proteins in the air through aptamers, which act like antibodies used to detect covid.
During the first tests, a small amount of viral protein was sprayed onto the mask. Everything was carried out in a closed chamber, while the conditions during the conversation were simulated. As the results showed, the mask detects even a small amount of covid in the air and immediately sends data to the smartphone connected to it.
Experts say that this invention can play a decisive role in ending the pandemic. However, despite the positive results and loud announcements, the mask for detecting covid cannot yet be called something innovative. There are many more tests to come.
