FRENCH RESEARCHERS DEVELOP COVID TEST THAT GIVES RESULTS LIKE USB DEVICE

  • 24/02/2021

A group of French researchers have developed a COVID-19 test that can give results three times faster.This newly-created electrochemical test, according to initial trial data, can deliver coronavirus test results three times faster than rapid lateral flow antigen tests with the same accuracy, but slower PCR tests.Known as CorDial-1, the test has been approved for use even though the initial trials on 300 samples showed a 90 per cent accuracy rate.
Other than the speed of the test, another major advantage of this new test is that it does not require a lab atmosphere to study the results. While the PCR test typically takes hours and needs a laboratory.The testing apparatus resembles a large USB stick that can be plugged into a smartphone leading to a signal to show up on the screen in form of a graph, setting to read the result, this can simply be used on a smartphone.
