Coronavirus COVID-19: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prevention, Lasers, Raman Spectroscopy and Virus Detection Using A PCR Device
Abstract
Corona Virus (COVID-19) belongs to the coronavirus, and is the largest of the RNA virus. The virus is a microorganism that cannot be seen with the naked eye but can be seen with a microscope. There are many types of viruses, and in recent years a new series of viruses has emerged called corona viruses, and today the seventh series of corona viruses, Covid_19. Which is still mysterious until now. This makes the scientists and researchers defiantly understand and study this virus for the purpose of finding a cure or vaccine for it. The urgent need to find quick, effective and low-cost methods for early detection of this virus. While it kills thousands of lives every day, we need to accelerate the conduct of virus detection analyzes and collect more information about it. Here, we can use the laser and use Raman spectroscopy, which is one of the methods of molecular spectroscopy, which uses the interaction of light with matter to obtain a vision of the composition of the material or its properties. As several studies, most of which are in the research and development stage, have demonstrated the possibility of using the laser and / or Raman spectroscopy for the purpose of detecting and diagnosing the virus accurately and within seconds.
