Slowest part of COVID tests ‘eliminated’ with Israeli single-molecule method – The Times of Israel
Nano team at the Technion says it can check molecules one by one, meaning labs won’t need to spend hours ‘amplifying’ samples to generate more material for anal…
Israeli nanotechnologists say that they have found a way to examine molecules one by one for coronavirus, and eliminate the most time-consuming process in COVID-19 test analysis.
In regular virus testing, lab teams need to massively increase the number of molecules they have from each patients sample, through a process known as amplification. That typically takes between one and two hours, and requires special chemicals. Millions of molecules are needed before a sample can be analyzed.
But the…
