New biosensor can detect airborne bird flu in under 5 minutes .

Virus trackers have a way to monitor aerosol particles of H5N1.

Washington University's new biosensor works within five minutes , preserving the sample of the microbes for further analysis and providing a range of the pathogen concentration levels detected on a farm.

The biosensor can provide concentration ranges of H5N1 in the air and alert operators to disease spikes in real time.

It can be adapted to detect other strains of influenza virus (e.g., H1N1) and SARS-CoV-2 as well as E. Coli and pseudomonas in the aerosol phase.
