Researchers have designed such a face mask that after wearing it will be known within just 90 minutes whether you are corona infected or not.

Researchers from MIT and Harvard University have designed a new face mask that can be detected within an hour and a half of wearing whether the wearer has SARS-CoV-2 or Coronavirus. ) is not infected. This mask design is mentioned in the magazine ‘Nature Biotechnology’.
On top of this are small disposable sensors that can be installed in other masks and can also detect infection with other viruses. According to the researchers, these sensors can be applied not only to face masks but also to clothing such as coats used by health workers in laboratories.
Results are visible within the mask itself
In this way, the potential risk of the virus to health workers can be monitored. Professor James Collins at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US said that we have seen that many types of synthetic biological sensors can be used to detect viruses or bacterial nucleic acids. Many toxic chemicals can also be detected from them.
These face mask sensors are specially designed so that the wearer can activate them when they are ready for the test. For the privacy of the user, the results can only be viewed within the mask. These sensors are placed inside the mask so that they can detect the viral particles in the breath of the person wearing the mask.
Result is known in 90 minutes
The researchers have applied for a patent on the technology, and they now hope to work with a company to further develop the sensor. Collins said that the face mask is the first application of its kind that will be available in the coming times.
The mask also comes with a small water packet that releases water at the press of a button. It hydrates the freeze-dried components of the sensor, which analyzes the respiratory droplets within the mask and shows results within 90 minutes.
