The recent events of outbreaks of corona virus caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus −2(SARS‐CoV‐2) raised a concern and increased urge for quick and rapid detection techniques of disease causing pathogens. The detection of the virus with high sensitivity and accuracy holds great importance. Nowadays, the most commonly employed technique is the Quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction test (qRT‐PCR) and antigen test. While RT‐PCR technique is time consuming, expensive and labour intensive, antigen tests though simple, can often give false positive and false negatives. In this context, electrochemical biosensors developed in recent times have been identified as a potential strategy to overcome the limitations of these common techniques. This review article summarizes the current advancements in the field of voltammetric sensors for the detection of COVID‐19 virus and various biomarkers associated with it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
