Dec 14, 2020 Montreal-based Two-Photon Research has announced CAST, a diagnostics platform that changes the way viruses are detected. The CAST platform uses TPR’s patented Aptamer Molecular Photonic Beacon (AMPB) that photonically interfaces with smartphones. The first application of CAST is for detecting SARS-CoV-2 to help control the Covid-19 pandemic. During the test, the AMPB binds to the S1 protein of SARS-CoV-2 if it is present in the saliva sample. On binding with the S1 protein, the AMPB responds to the smartphone’s LED flash. The light emitted by the AMPB is then detected by the ...
