Sensors based on special sound waves known as surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are capable of detecting tiny amounts of antigens of Influenza A viruses. Developed by A*STAR researchers, the biosensors have the potential to detect viral infections rapidly and reliably at the point of care, making them powerful tools for combating future pandemics.
