Scientists have said: A ceiling-mounted device has been developed which can detect whether individuals in the room have Covid-19 in 15 minutes. Researches from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine(LSHTM) and the biotech company RoboScientific with Durham University, study tested devices with Organic semiconductor sensors which could potentially be used as a Screening tool for Covid-19. They anticipate this sensor can be used in public spaces where the risk of transmitting the disease can be high. It has been founded in research that Covid-19 infection has its own distinct smell. These odor results from changes in VOC compound which make body odor that the sensor can detect. A team of 54 individuals donated their body odor sample of work socks - 27 covid-19 positives who asymptotic or had mild symptoms and 27 individuals were uninfected. Samples were analyzed by the developed sensor Roboscientifc’s Model 307B VOC analyzer fitted with an array of 12 OSC sensors. on the fi...
