In the midst of lockdown, researchers have designed an electrochemical sensing device called E-Cove-Sense. This device is designed by Indian scientists for quick investigation of corona infection. The device claims that this machine gives accurate results in 10 to 30 seconds after keeping a sample of saliva. The lead scientist in the research team of the National Institute of Animal Biotechnology, Hyderabad told the media - This machine gives an accurate indication of the presence of coronavirus spike protein antigen when the saliva is sampled. An application is being sent to the government for approval of the machine.

For your information, let us tell you that Dr. Sonu Gandhi, Dean of the Institute of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh Native, said on the phone - This electrochemical device is for rapid detection of coronavirus, which during the investigation the reaction between antigen-antibodies and The resulting electric charge is based on flow. We have stabilized antibodies to Kovid-19 on a screen-printed carbon electrode.

Also simply put, an electrode in the device is coated with antibodies to covid-19 and when an infected person's saliva sample is applied to it, it performs an electrochemical reaction with the Kovid-19 spike protein antigen present in the saliva. , Causing a transient electric current. This machine measures this change in electrical conductivity. This reaction will occur only if there is covid-19 spike protein (antigen) in the saliva. Then you will immediately know that the person is infected.
