a Description of the importance of monitoring airborne virus. (i) Schematic representation of virus-laden aerosols/droplets generated by an infected individual and potential aerosol transmission pathway, (ii) Table of the median half-life of common airborne respiratory viruses. RH: relative humidity. RSV: respiratory syncytial virus. b Schematic diagram of the comprehensive airborne viruses monitoring solution provided by RIAMs, including (i) offline surveillance of airborne respiratory viruses and (ii) continuous surveillance of airborne respiratory viruses. c Schematic diagram of the versatile and ultrasensitive QF paper-centered workflows of in-situ PCR chemistry. QF paper: quartz filter paper. d Exploded schematic of the microfluidic cartridge for fully integrated and automated viral nucleic acid detection. e A series of basic elements of mesoscopic design paradigm, including IN, OUT, MIX for various basic fluidic operations. f Images of the microfluidic cartridge and the compact control and detection instrument.
