Organic Transistor‐Based Biosensors for Viral RNA Detection and Variant Monitoring: From SARS‐CoV‐2 to Effective Management of Future Pandemics by Stefano Lai, Roberto Cusano, Alessandra Scano, Giorgio Fotia, Annalisa Bonfiglio

“…PCR‐free detection of viral genomic RNA is demonstrated at different target concentrations, with optimal discrimination with respect to negative control. Moreover, the same approach is feasible for virus variant tracking, as a screening strategy for mutation detection in PCR‐amplified samples: the approach can be used for a rationalization of RNA sequencing procedures, which are difficult to perform in the acute phases of pandemics, but are fundamental for an effective pandemic management. …”
