A safe, fast and cheap testing method that uses magnetic nanoparticles to detect viruses in both clinical and wastewater samples has been developed by KAUST researchers. The centrifuge-free approach is compatible with magnetic bead-based automated systems that are already used to process hundreds of samples.
Our silica magnetic nanoparticle-based workflow can be assembled from scratch by any researcher. It rivals commercial viral-RNA extraction kits while lowering the risk of handling potentially…
