SARS-CoV-2 Detection Methods

A fast and highly specific detection of COVID-19 infections is essential in managing the virus dissemination networks. The most relevant technologies developed for SARS-CoV-2 detection, along with their advantages limitations, will be presented fully explored. Additionally, some newest emerging diagnosis tools, such as biosensing platforms, also introduced. Considering extreme relevance that all these assume pandemic control, it utmost to have an intrinsic knowledge parameters need taken into consideration before choosing adequate test a particular situation. Moreover, new variants potential impact on method’s effectiveness discussed. In order better manage pandemic, maintain continuous research genome updated genomic surveillance at global level. This allow timely mutations viral variants, which may affect performance tests.
