The Technology Provides Medical Laboratories with a Rapid (6 hours), Affordable and Accurate Test for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 ("COVID-19") and its Variants ("VOC") and ("VOI") without Sequencing

Key Points: 
  • "By 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 virus had mutated more than 30 times - with Omicron jumping the mutation count to an unprecedented level.
  • By the time the sequencing results were available, the data was already weeks old and had lost much of its public health value.
  • With the number of variants appearing as we have seen, receiving results two to three weeks later does not help.
  • This technology will help growing companies deliver safer products and healthier lives, while avoiding billions of dollars in losses due to infection and contamination.
