Abstract
This protocol is used to operate an electronic rapid (1 min) point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 sensor
Apply a small amount (~1 uL) of saliva on the sensor element at room temperature.
2. Wait for 30 s. The sensor sytem wil turn on a green LED to alert you at the end of the 30 s.
Measure the sensor I-V using the paired smart phone APP or click on the "Read" botton on the sensor system.
Apply 60 C water on the sensor for 30 s.
If the result is "positive", redo the test to increase confidence.
Re-apply 60 C water on the sensor for 30 s.
The sensor is ready to be used for another test.
