There is a growing interest in electronic nose-based diagnostic systems that are fast and portable. However, existing technologies suitable only for operation the laboratory, making them difficult to apply rapid, non-face-to-face, field-suitable manner. Here, we demonstrate DNA-derived phage nose (D2pNose) as portable respiratory disease diagnosis system requiring no pretreatment. D2pNose was produced based on colour films implanted with DNA sequences from mammalian olfactory receptor cells,...
