Snippet: The viral pneumonia COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread rapidly over 210 countries and declared as pandemic by WHO. WHO has emphasized on the scale-up of testing capacity, followed by isolation of infected individuals, and contact tracing, as the ‘backbone’ of managing the pandemic. Globally, the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in patients is done by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and blood antibody-based testing. Here, a flow cytometry-based high
Document: The viral pneumonia COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread rapidly over 210 countries and declared as pandemic by WHO. WHO has emphasized on the scale-up of testing capacity, followed by isolation of infected individuals, and contact tracing, as the ‘backbone’ of managing the pandemic. Globally, the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in patients is done by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and blood antibody-based testing. Here, a flow cytometry-based high-throughput screening system is proposed for testing of COVID-19 cases where the virus particle binds to specific primary antibodies and the resultant virus–antibody complex then binds to fluorescent-tagged secondary antibodies. The fluorescence signal could be measured in a flow channel for qualitative detection of virus in the test sample.
