1. A viral testing apparatus comprising:
(a) a kit comprising:
(i) a first container (T1) having a first media, wherein the first media comprises a catalyst formation solution having V mL of 1 M KOH;
(ii) a second container (T2) having a second media, wherein the second media comprises a negative control (baseline solution) having W mL of 0.01 M KOH;
(iii) a third container (T3) having a third media, wherein the third media comprises a sample solution having X mL of 0.01 M KOH, and the T3 receives Y mL of saliva to complete a Z mL total volume in the T3 prior to sample testing; and
(iv) a rack to retain and support T1, T2 and T3, wherein the rack is operatively configured to connect one or more of T1, T2, and T3 to a sensor, wherein the connection of one or more of T1, T2, and T3 to the sensor initiates a test for a virus;
(b) the saliva, wherein the third container contains the Y mL of the saliva; and
(c) the sensor (S), wherein the sensor is connected to one or more of T1, T2, or T3, wherein the connection of one or more of T1, T2, and T3 to the sensor initiates the test for the virus.
