A professor at University of Texas Arlington has built a
device that when breathed into they are able to detect biomarkers associated
with virus infection. The handheld monitor uses semiconductor sensors like
those in a carbon monoxide detector. The current standard of practice for flu
diagnosis is a nasal swab and using a PCR, which can take up to 30 minutes to
complete. This can be cumbersome and uncomfortable. The device combines a
nitric oxide and ammonia sensor, which Gouma found to be useful markers in
confirming a flu infection. The device only takes seconds to complete and has
the potential to catch illnesses early and be used in home settings. The device
is more a proof of concept in its current rendition and clinical trials must be
performed next in order to confirm the accuracy of the test.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
