Abstract
We present a cost-affordable capacitive aptasensor specific to Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. Laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrodes were used as transducer surfaces due to their performance and facile and low-cost production. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied as signal transduction for biosensing studies of Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 and non-target viruses by aptasensor. At lower viral load, the aptasensor showed to be sensitive and specific for Omicron. At higher viral load, aptasensor is not able to differentiate between target and non-target viruses. The proposed biosensor showed promise for detecting Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 during early infection stage when concentration of intact virion is low.
