(TNS) — Northwestern University scientists are racing to develop a new kind of rapid test to detect the novel coronavirus that would be inexpensive, easily mass produced and simple to administer. Their work involves creating a synthetic molecule designed to quickly identify SARS-CoV-2 from a nasal swab or saliva sample, as well as detecting the virus in water or on surfaces. Results would come in less than an hour, at the location where the test was taken, according to the team. READ MORE |
