In this outbreak, three different types of diagnosis tests are being used including (i) chest CT scan along with clinical indications, (ii) RNA detection using RT-PCR assay and (iii) lateral flow assays, full automatic chemiluminescence method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of antibodies [5] . In this review, we have summarized the biosensor based technologies which are able to detect SARS-CoV-2 effectively. The peptide monolayer was successfully coated on SPR biosensor and further functionalized with virus nucleocapsid protein which was finally able to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies at nanomolar level. The sensing aptitude of the biosensor was evaluated employing antigen protein, self-cultured virus, and nasopharyngeal swab samples taken from people infected with COVID-19 pneumonia. ./cache/cord-268468-036i1082.txt ./txt/cord-268468-036i1082.txt
