A team of scientists has developed a new portable, pocket-sized machine that can diagnose SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, in just 15 minutes. Globally, Covid-19 has infected nearly 129 million people and claimed 2.81 million ...
New Portable COVID-19 Test Detects Virus And Tracks Mutations In Minutes 04/01/21 AT 7:51 AM The scientists use swabs to take samples, which are then analysed in a hi-tech lab in Franceville Photo: AFP / STEEVE JORDAN KEY POINTS It can also identify the presence of other variants of the virus The NIRVANA is said to be faster and more convenient than the standard method Scientists have made another breakthrough in the fight against COVID-19. A new portable test, dubbed the NIRVANA, is able to diagnose COVID-19 and simultaneously determine other viruses similar to the deadly coronvirus....
The test, dubbed NIRVANA, can simultaneously test for other viruses such as influenza that might be mistaken for the coronavirus, the researchers said.
Researchers have developed a new method for testing viruses using magnetic nanoparticles that assess samples from clinical and wastewater sources.
KAUST researchers develop a safe, fast and cheap testing method to detect viruses A safe, fast and cheap testing method that uses magnetic nanoparticles to detect viruses in both clinical and wastewater samples has been developed by KAUST researchers. The centrifuge-free approach is compatible with magnetic bead-based automated systems that are already used to process hundreds of samples. Our silica magnetic nanoparticle-based workflow can be assembled from scratch by any researcher. It rivals commercial viral-RNA extraction kits while lowering the risk of handling potentially infectious samp...
