New Type of COVID-19 Test Offers Advantages over Lateral Flow Tests

Rapid antigen tests can quickly and conveniently tell a person that they are positive for Covid-19. However, because the antibody-based tests aren’t very sensitive, they can fail to detect early infections with low viral loads. Now, a team of researchers has developed a rapid test that relies on molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles, rather than antibodies, for detection. More...
