World’s First AI-Powered Diagnostic Test Accurately Identifies Respiratory Viruses in Five Minutes
A world-first diagnostic test powered by AI that can identify known respiratory viruses within five minutes from just one nasal or throat swab could replace current testing methods which are limited to testing for just one infection or are either lab-based and time-consuming or fast and less accurate. More...09 Feb 2023
POC Test Detects and Differentiates Between Upper Respiratory Infections Caused by Influenza and SARS-CoV-2
A fast, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) device can detect and differentiate between upper respiratory infections caused by Influenza (Flu) A & B, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). More...04 Jan 2023
New Immunosensor Paves Way to Rapid POC Testing for COVID-19 and Emerging Infectious Diseases
Researchers have developed a new immunosensor based on Quenchbody technology that shows great potential as a fast, inexpensive, and convenient tool to detect SARS-CoV-2. This highly efficient diagnostic approach will be useful not only for point-of-care testing, but also for high-throughput epidemiological studies of COVID-19 and other emerging infectious diseases. More...19 Dec 2022
Long COVID Etiologies Found in Acute Infection Blood Samples
Long COVID or long-haul COVID (also known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 [PASC], or chronic COVID syndrome [CCS]) is a condition characterized by long-term health problems persisting or appearing after the typical recovery period of COVID-19. More...12 Dec 2022
Cepheid's Multi-Target Test Design Enables Detection of Influenza Variants
Cepheid’s (Sunnyvale, CA, USA) respiratory test design enables detection of the currently circulating mutant strains of influenza, and with similar symptoms across various illnesses such as the flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease, and COVID-19, when accurate and fast diagnosis is critical to patient care. More...09 Dec 2022
Novel Device Detects COVID-19 Antibodies in Five Minutes
Rapid, cheap and accurate tests continue to be essential for epidemiological surveillance and for health services to monitor and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. A team of scientists has now developed an electrochemical immunosensor that detects antibodies against the virus. More...30 Nov 2022
