Novel device and test protocols for onsite COVID-19 testing

新冠肺炎的快速传播导致了几个月内的全球大流行，造成了前所未有的后果，挑战了医疗保健系统的能力，并迫使许多经济体大规模关闭。 这项应用旨在通过提供为适合在临床实验室环境外进行测试的设备开发的敏感分析，促进更好地进行感染筛查和管理的解决方案。检测基于对新冠肺炎靶点的特定分子识别，而这些设备代表着一个多用途平台，可以扩展到其他与医学相关的地方，作为大流行管理的强大工具。

The fast spread of Covid-19 resulted in a global pandemic within a few months with unprecedented consequences challenging the capacity of health care systems as well as forcing a large scale shut-down of many economies. This application aims to facilitate solutions for better infection screening and management by providing sensitive assays developed for devices that are suitable for testing outside the clinical laboratory setting. Detection is based on specific molecular recognition of Covid-19 targets resulting while the devices represent a multipurpose platform that can be expanded to other medically relevant as a powerful tool in pandemic management.
