Enhanced portable detection for Sars-CoV-2 utilizing DNA tetrahedron-tethered aptamers and a pressure meter

Tethering oligonucleotide aptamers to a DNA tetrahedron structure can enhance the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to effectively overcome challenges with its detection in current diagnostic assays. Building on this framework, we have developed a unique portable detection method for COVID-19 that provides exceptional sensitivity and selectivity via pressure meter readout. This innovative assay streamlines the detection process, providing a rapid, sensitive, cost-effective, and user-friendly diagnostic tool. This point-of-care test exhibits high sensitivity and specificity, achieving an impressive detection limit of 0.1 pg mL-1 for the spike protein. The effectiveness of this method was validated using pseudoviruses and oropharyngeal swab samples, and its utility for environmental monitoring is demonstrated by testing sewage samples. With a wide linear range and strong potential for clinical or home application, our assay represents a major innovation in point-of-care diagnostics and provides a vital contribution to the current toolkit for controlling the impacts of COVID-19.
