Sensors based on special sound waves known as surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are capable of detecting tiny amounts of antigens of influenza A viruses. These sensors have been developed by A*STAR, Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, and have the potential to detect viral infections rapidly and reliably at the point-of-care, making them powerful tools for combating future pandemics.
ISORG, a spin-off from the French printed electronics laboratory CEA Liten, which is specialised in the development of photo-detectors and large area image sensors based on organic and printed electronics, just announced that it was able to gather investments of 6.4M Euros.
