Fox News
A collaboration between the engineering and medical schools at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, has resulted in a novel air monitor that is said to detect COVID-19 virus variants.
The results were published in Nature Communications in the journal’s July 10 edition as part of a collaboration between the engineering and medicine schools at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The researchers first developed the custom-built air sampler through simulations. The monitor is at the proof-of-concept stage as of now. The research team is working to commercialize it.
"This device can be installed in various settings such as hospitals, airports, office spaces, theaters or any crowded indoor location where the risk of virus transmission is high and ventilation may be inadequate," first author Dr. Joseph Puthussery and co-author Dr. Carla Yuede told Fox News Digital in emailed comments.
