Handheld lab-on-chip diagnostic platform for rapid detection of COVID-19 and surveillance.
Our novel diagnostic test based on microchip technology addresses the need for new accessible diagnostics to be rapidly deployed in hospitals for testing front-line staff, enabling clinical management of infected patients and real-time tracking of the pandemic.
The platform performs real-time amplification and detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA using isothermal chemistries.
Quantitative test results are provided on a smartphone application in under 20 minutes and synchronised to a cloud server for real-time tracking of disease progression and surveillance.
