Method and devices for detecting viruses and bacterial pathogens

Abstract

The embodiments disclose a sensor for detecting an analyte including at least one substrate, a first conductive layer added to the at least one substrate forming an electrode pattern with at least two working electrodes and one counter electrode, a second conductive layer added to the first conductive layer that forms the electrode pattern with at least two working electrodes and one counter electrode, at least one single-stranded molecule bound to the second conductive layer, wherein the at least one single-stranded molecule binds to the analyte when complementary single-stranded molecules bond together to form a double-stranded molecule, and wherein the binding of the at least one single-stranded molecule bound to the second conductive layer and at least one single-stranded molecule of the analyte generates a profile response indicative of at least a positive or negative or inconclusive test result.
