“#New COVID sensor can smell virus in crowded room: researchers<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A new device can sniff out if someone in a crowded room has COVID-19, British researchers say. <\/p>\n

The highly accurate ceiling-mounted sensor takes as few as 15 minutes to raise a coronavirus alarm, says development firm RoboScientific.<\/p>\n

The room monitor, a little larger than a smoke detector, detects changes in odor to the skin or breath experienced by people during the illness, the company says.<\/p>\n

Samples are taken of the room for around 15 to 30 minutes to scan for the odor, which is unable to be picked up by a human nose, and then an alert is sent with the results, according to the company.<\/a><\/p>\n

Early studies from researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Durham University in the UK tested the device using body-odor samples from socks worn by infected and uninfected people.<\/p>\n

The scientists found that the device was able to correctly detect the virus from the samples with an accuracy rate of between 98 and 100 percent.<\/p>\n

The findings suggest that the electronic device is more accurate than PCR tests, since they don\u2019t always pick up asymptomatic carriers, the Times of London reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scientists said the technology<\/a> can also have important safety benefits for travel<\/a> and crowded events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would allow the detection of one infected individual within a room or aircraft,
allowing rapid and more targeted testing to be done, saving money and time, and reducing onward transmission,\u201d the researchers said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new technology comes after two companies, Airbus and Koniku, announced last year that they had partnered up to create a similar device that also triggers an alarm when \u201csmelling\u201d molecular compounds of the virus.<\/p><\/div>\n
