New Covid rapid test kit receives scientific seal of approval – Sify News
Toronto, May 22 (IANS) A team of researchers has validated a faster, cheaper Covid-19 test that could kickstart the expansion of more widespread rapid testing.
“This research offers a cheaper, faster alternative to the most reliable and sensitive test currently used worldwide, without sacrificing sensitivity and reproducibility,” said researcher Peter Unrau from the Simon Fraser University.
