Abstract
This article reflects that probable application of Nano cellulose to invent test kit of COVID: 19 diseases. It is recognized that COVID: 19 is a pandemic disease. Novel Corona virus is a mRNA virus which is enveloped by protein molecules. In the structure of corona virus, it contains protein spikes. In this conceptual article, the author predicts that Nano cellulose based test kit can detect corona virus positive in the human body. Cellulose is one of the most abundant biomass in the world. In the structure of cellulose there are lots of hydroxyl ion remain. Hydroxyl ion can give reaction with the amino acid. Authors wanted to develop a process model to make the test kit of COVID: 19 diseases. Wood is the best source of cellulose. Besides its, textile materials like cotton, flax etc are another good source of cellulose. In this article, the source of cellulose cannot play a vital role .The method of processing cellulose Nano device & reaction mechanism between hydroxyl ion & amino acid will play a significant role.

Introduction
Actually Nanocellulsoe is a promising natural material which is extracted from natural cellulosic source. There are varieties types of Nanocellulsoe. Like cellulose nanocrystal, Nanocellulsoe filament, bacterial cellulose is remaining in the research area. In this article author used Nano cellulose to produce test kit of COVID: 19 diseases. COVID: 19 is a pandemic disease in this world. There is a crisis of test kit in this world. This proposed model helps to experiment about the test kit. Nanocellulose is a cost effective advanced material which is used for biodegradability & low cytotoxicity. Advanced Nanocellulsoe was used for producing test kit of HIV virus, Ebola virus & hepatitis C virus [1].Professor Whiteside’s research group invented cellulose based point of care molecular devices at Harvard University [1]. Prediction goes that this process is applicable for making test kit of COVID: 19 diseases. Cellulose is a sustainable material source which can be extracted from cotton, wood, bacteria. Nanocellulose has a great mechanical characteristics .Actually the mechanical characteristics depend on the source of extraction [3].
Structural Analysis of Novel Corona Virus
Corona virus has four genera .They are: alpha corona virus, beta corona virus, gamma corona virus& delta corona virus. Alpha & beta corona virus create infection to the mammals. Gamma corona virus can affect the avian species. Delta corona virus can infect both mammals & avian species. Corona virus is a large enveloped, positive standard RNA virus. The genome sequence is 27-32 KB. In the structure of corona virus helical capsid is surrounded by nucelocapsid protein. There are three types of protein in novel corona virus. Membrane protein, envelope protein, spikes protein (Figure 1).
