Researchers developed a rapid, non-invasive, point-of-care platform for the direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled breath.
The method, called DDNS, can identify poliovirus directly without cell culture, reducing the turnaround time for outbreak detection.
A prototype device can tell with 95 per cent accuracy if someone has a virus - a significant improvement over current rapid tests - according to the research team behind the idea from the University of Central Florida (UCF).
