CONT

En el caso de detección genómica, es posible usar biosensores ópticos (basados en tecnología microelectrónica) para la detección directa de los fragmentos del ARN [ácido ribonucleico] del virus […] Esta tecnología ofrece niveles de sensibilidad extremadamente altos, lo que permite evitar la amplificación, reduciendo tiempo de análisis a pocos minutos, minimizando la influencia de la contaminación (al eludir también la amplificación, aumentando la reproducibilidad), y ofreciendo valores cuantitativos, por tanto, correlacionando el resultado con una mayor o menor cantidad de material genómico, y por tanto, de carga viral.
