Pagneux et al. developed a nanobody-functionalized electrochemical platform with smartphone readout to detect SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples. They demonstrated that their device can rapidly and accurately detect SARS-CoV-2 in saliva and nasopharyngeal swab samples and discriminate between this virus and other respiratory viruses.
