Manufacturers needed for rapid roll out of Coronavirus test

Scientists have appealed to industry to help fast produce a molecular test and smartphone app that can tell people in half an hour if they have Covid-19.

It would let people self-isolating test themselves and health care workers test patients and themselves to slow the pandemic’s spread and ease its NHS burden.

Developed by researchers at Brunel University London, Lancaster University and University of Surrey, the kit links to a smartphone app to detect the virus.

The science behind the device has been evaluated in the Philippines to check chickens for viral infections. The team is adapting it to detect Covid-19 in humans and urgently needs backers to get it mass produced.

“Now we know multiple genomes of Covid-19, we can develop the molecular test in a week and have it up and running on the device in three or four,” said Brunel University London’s Professor Wamadeva Balachandran.

“We are confident it will respond well and rapidly need industrial partners to come on board. It will have a huge impact on the population at large.”

The battery-operated hand-held smart phone linked device is easy to use. It works by taking nasal or throat swabs, which are put into the device. Then in 30 to 45 minutes, it can tell if someone has Covid-19. The samples don’t need to go to a laboratory and the same device can test six people at once.
