Detecting coronavirus in the environment

摘要

Researchers at the University of Tasmania,in partnership with GreyScan Pty Ltd,are using trace detection to develop a tool that rapidly and accurately detects coronavirus and other surface viruses in the environment.The project aims to provide proof-of-concept for the world's first mobile virus detection device,GreyScan's TVD-1,through laboratory research that wilL develop the chemistry needed to identify SARS-CoV-2 in the fieLd.This initial study is supported by $260 000 in co-funding from the CSIRO Innovation Connections Grant scheme and industry partner GreyScan Pty Ltd.
