A review of electrochemical biosensor application in the detection of the SARS‐COV‐2

Abstract

Abstract With the rapid spread and proliferation of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) worldwide, highly pathogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) seriously threatens human life and health. The rapid and accurate abilities to detect SARS‐CoV‐2 have become the key to prevent and control COVID‐19. Electrochemical sensors have shown broad application prospects in biological detection because of the advantages of high sensitivity, specificity, and short time‐consuming. This review summarizes the application of electrochemical biosensors in detecting SARS‐CoV‐2 and discusses prospects for developing direction in this field.
