AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical need for rapid and accurate diagnostic tools. Current methods, including PCR and rapid antigen tests (RAT), have limitations in speed, sensitivity, and the requirement for specialized equipment and trained personnel. Nanotechnology, particularly upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), offer a promising alternative due to their unique optical properties.
