This sensing platform, which enables rapid and localized testing without requiring samples to be sent to centralized laboratories, provides a potentially significant public health tool for pandemic preparedness. It also has a variety of future wastewater surveillance applications in community settings.
• Low-cost and rapid paper microfluidic device for on-site wastewater surveillance

• Sensing platform for pandemic preparedness and public health

• Field testing of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater from quarantine hotels
