This paper presents the analytical derivation of spreading resistance expressions for diverse geometries of a conducting probe submerged in a lossy medium. Resulting equations can be used to calibrate scanning impedance/scanning microwave microscopes operating in liquid. The expressions are systematically validated through numerical and experimental methods for the calibration of an inverted Scanning Microwave Microscope (iSMM) when operating in a lossy saline medium, such as Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), a widely used medium for supporting the growth of biological cells.

- Reliable point-of-care rapid tests are essential for detecting SARS-CoV-2 and managing its spread, but variants can reduce the effectiveness of current diagnostic tests due to changes in how they interact with antibodies.
- Researchers have developed a graphene field-effect transistor (gFET) biosensor that focuses on the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and the ACE2 receptor, significantly improving detection sensitivity compared to traditional methods.
- This biosensor has shown the ability to detect multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 with high sensitivity, making it a promising tool for rapid and effective viral detection in clinical settings.
