Prof. Lee Jeonghoons team

Has Developed Technology to Detect COVID-19 Antibodies Instantly on Site


- By significantly improving the analytical sensitivity, which has been a technical challenge of point-of-care testing, the technology enables the investigation of the scale of infection in the community and the epidemiologic investigation of infection without symptoms. It can be applied as a new technology in the antibody diagnosis market in the future.

- Published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics 2022 (JCR 2.87%, Impact factor 10.61), an internationally renowned journal.

 

The Kwangwoon University research team under the advisory of Prof. Lee Junghoon collaborated with Prof. Yoon Daesungs team at Korea University, Prof. Yoo Yongkyung's team at Catholic Kwandong University, and Kells Co., Ltd., a diagnostic device venture company. They developed a diagnostic platform that can quickly and accurately analyze the presence or absence of a disease or antibodies on-site by applying the nanoelectrokinetic (NEK) preconcentrator.
