Rapid detection of COVID-19 and its variants

Ontario-based, Nicoya Lifesciences, is in the process of completing a prototype of a low-cost, single-use device that tests for active SARS-CoV-2 infection, variants and, eventually, other viruses. The novel test is called Atlas. Users administer the Atlas test themselves with a simple saliva collection kit. After that, a smartphone application provides results, in only 20 minutes – without complex lab equipment or highly trained technicians.  Atlas was developed with funding from the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) as part of a joint challenge issued with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) through the government’s Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) program.

Calgary-based Providence Therapeutics sees positive COVID-19 vaccine trial, but federal support still lacking

  CALGARY A Calgary-based drug maker successfully posted promising phase one trial results for its own COVID-19 vaccine, but the company’s future endeavours in Canada remain a question mark without federal funding for manufacturing. Providence Therapeutics released results Wednesday from 60 participants aged 18 to 64 that participated in the trial, which show “strong virus neutralization capability,” with no serious side effects reported. Participants received either a placebo or the PTX-COVID19-B vaccine made by Providence in one of three dose sizes. After 28 days, participants given any of the vaccine sizes showed COVID-19 antibodies, while all doses showed 100 per cent COVID-19 “blocking activity” after 42 days.
