==State of the Art==
'''Still paste some tables'''There are various influenza tests available on the market. The most common tests are ‘rapid influenza diagnostic tests’, also called RIDTs. RIDTs provide results in a qualitative way within approximately 10-15 minutes and work by detecting the parts of the virus that stimulate an immune response. <ref name="Arti17">Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests, 2016, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/diagnosis/clinician_guidance_ridt.htm</ref>The table contains examples of available Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests that provide results in 10-15 minutes.   In the SensUs Competition, a saliva based test will be developed. Moreover, SensUs strives to develop sensors that provide results within 5 minutes and that are as sensitive as possible.The SensUs Competition aims to innovate the field of influenza biosensing by using saliva as a matrix, by the speed of the test, and by targeting a high sensitivity.
