A device for the detecting any viruses in the air was created in Russia already 10 years ago

The device was presented at the forum "Army-2020" by the Krasnogorsk plant. S.A. Zvereva (KMZ, part of Shvabe, Rostec). This is a joint development with the Scientific Research Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after N.F. Gamaleya.

Such technologies will quickly enter production and real application, said Vladislav Zhemchugov, doctor of medical sciences, an immunologist, a specialist in especially dangerous infections, in an interview with Sputnik radio.

“The device for assessing the content of various substances in the air has been developed more than 10 years ago, for which a large team of people headed by my teacher, Academician Anatoly Andreevich Vorobyov, unfortunately already deceased, received a state prize. These developments naturally continue, because such a spectral analysis is, firstly, sensitive, and, secondly, very fast and accurate. For example, such technologies can determine the composition of certain substances in the atmosphere of the other planets. Now these devices can quickly go into production and into a real use as well”,- says Vladislav Zhemchugov.
