Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has become an immense global health crisis. However, the lack of efficient and sensitive on-site testing methods limits early detection for timely isolation and intervention. Here, we present a Quantitative and Ultrasensitive in-situ Immunoassay Technology for SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva (QUIT SARS-CoV-2). Our nanoporous membrane resonator generates a rapid oscillating flow to purify and concentrate SARS-CoV-2 virus in saliva by 40 folds for in-situ detection of viral antigens based on chemiluminescent immunoassay within 20 min. This method achieved a detection sensitivity below 10 0 copies/mL viral load, comparable to the bench-top PCR equipment. The portable QUIT SARS-CoV-2 system, allowing rapid and accurate on-site viral screen with high-throughput sample pooling strategy, can be performed at the primary care settings and substantially improve the detection and prevention of COVID-19.
