REUTERSPIX: US researchers have created a real-time monitor that can detect any of the SARS-CoV-2 virus variants in a room in about five minutes.

Researchers at the Washington University developed the device by combining recent advances in aerosol sampling technology and an ultrasensitive biosensing technique, said Xinhua. The inexpensive, proof-of-concept device could be used in hospitals and health care facilities, schools and public places to help detect CoV-2 and potentially monitor for other respiratory virus aerosols, such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus , according to the study published Monday in Nature Communications.
