A Review of FTIR Spectroscopy Used in COVID-19 Analysis | Chapter 5 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 5

The worldwide risk that the coronavirus pandemic presents to millions of people is widespread. The cause of this pandemic, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was initially determined in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, and it has since spread to other parts of the world. Early coronavirus identification improves the possibility of infection treatment and inhibits the virus's transmission. The early detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 has made extensive use of spectroscopic methods, including infrared spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy can identify changes in the biochemical events occurring in cells before and after a viral infection. It detects molecular vibrations caused by shifts in the electric dipole moment in chemical bonds, which are brought about by light absorption in the electromagnetic spectrum's 400–5000 cm-1 infrared region. However, because each spectral detection category uses a different detection technique, their sensitivity and specificity change. This review focuses on recent uses of FTIR spectroscopy in the detection of COVID-19.
