Abstract in brief

  • Molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) are developed as a fast, scalable, and reliable method to detect SARS-CoV-2, using a small viral fragment to create highly specific receptors that outperform traditional antibody-based tests, especially under stressful conditions like high temperatures or acidic media.
  • The nanoMIP-based thermal assay, applied to screenprinted electrodes, offers superior sensitivity and rapid detection (within 15 minutes) for different variants of the virus, surpassing many existing antigen tests in detection limits and accuracy.
  • This approach provides a robust, cost-effective, and adaptable sensor system with strong potential for widespread COVID-19 screening, especially in challenging environments where conventional tests might fail.]
