Abstract
Virus detection at the point-of-care facility has become an alarming topic in the research community. The latest coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the limitations of current conventional virus detection methods. Compared to nonelectrochemical sensors, electrochemical sensors provide the ideal platform for rapid, cheap, fast, sensitive, and selective diagnosis of several viruses, particularly at point-of-care facilities. This article highlights the most promising studies reported over the past decade to detect a broad spectrum of viruses using voltammetry, amperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
