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

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.
