COVID-19 rapid test has successful lab results, research moves to next stages: Engineers and virologists team up for novel approach

Rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in about 30 seconds following the test, has had successful preliminary results. The test uses a nanotube-based electrochemical biosensor, a similar technology used for detecting tuberculosis and colorectal cancer as well as detection of biomarkers for food safety.
