A team of researchers at the McKelvey School of Engineering and the School of Medicine has developed a proof-of-concept air quality monitor that can detect live SARS-CoV-2 virus in indoor environments. The monitor uses a biosensor made with nanobodies that is integrated into an air sampler that operates based on the wet cyclone technology. Credit: Joseph Puthussery

Proof-of-concept device could also monitor for flu, RSV, and other respiratory viruses.

Now that the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic has ended, scientists are looking at ways to surveil indoor environments in real-time for viruses. By combining recent advances in aerosol sampling technology and an ultrasensitive biosensing technique, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have created a real-time monitor that can detect any of the SARS-CoV-2 virus variants in a room in about 5 minutes monitor for flu, RSV, and other respiratory viruses.

The entire article is sn interesting read.  It sounds like this team of researchers does not know that BioCloud, as a real time detector, exists.  It appears like biosensors have existed for quite some time and that their approach detects Covid much faster.  And can be adapted to other viruses.  Also the dimensions of the aparatus are smaller and is described as "
