Let`s get back some normalcy

Part of getting back to regular life involves safely opening social venues like concerts, restaurants, bars and public services like schools and airports. While vaccines will play a substantial role in returning to this normalcy, not everyone will be vaccinated. So, rapid, accurate and affordable testing will remain a key element in long-term, global pandemic management.

This test is designed to:

  • Reduce or eliminate unnecessary quarantine restrictions
  • Facilitate rapid airport, cruise ship, and border testing to minimize travel risk
  • Increase safety in schools, medical centres, and other government services
  • Enable testing at public venues & job sites
  • Provide a cost effective, rapid, and accurate testing solution

Antigen tests
Antigen tests tell you if certain viral proteins are present. These tests are rapid but can be highly inaccurate.

PCR tests
These tell you if a viral genome is present. These tests are highly accurate but are time consuming, expensive, and logistically challenging. Typically, a person’s nose is swabbed, and the sample is shipped to a central lab for processing. Conventional PCR tests require high throughput batches of 500-1000 samples at the same time to be cost effective. Results usually take anywhere from 24-72 hours.

This means that today, when passengers land at an airport and take a PCR test, before they receive their results, they may come into contact with hundreds of people from taxis or public transit to grocery stores, friends and family. With this delay, society is put at risk and governments are required to perform significant contact tracing. It’s not ideal.

A new PCR system designed to augment the existing testing market with accuracy and speed without the need to ship samples to a central lab.

This simple test can be performed using a nasal or throat swab. In a mobile lab that can be setup almost anywhere, the sample is analyzed and prepared in an on-site thermocycler with the simple mixing and addition of several solutions onto a test strip.

The test is a PCR test with PCR accuracy but results are now available within 25 minutes, to be provided on-site or sent to a patient’s mobile device, allowing them to continue their day with minimal interruption.

Step 1
Sample Collection
A sample is taken from a patient via nasal or throat swab, mixed with reagents and placed in a Thermocycler.

Step 2
Run Test
The sample is run through a vortex and denaturation process. We then remove the sample and place it onto a test strip where 3 solutions are added. Once this process is complete, the results will be visible on the test strip with either 2 lines for a positive result or 1 line for a negative.

Step 3
Provide Results
We then send the results to the patient’s phone, letting them know if they may proceed or if there is a need for isolation.
