Nanoparticles Could Enable a More Sensitive and Durable Rapid COVID-19 Test - Technology Networks

Researchers have developed a rapid test that uses molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles, rather than antibodies, to detect SARS-CoV-2. The new test is more sensitive and works under more extreme conditions than antibody-based tests.

Rapid antigen tests can quickly and conveniently tell a person that they are positive for COVID-19. However, because antibody-based tests arent very sensitive, they can fail to detect early infection… [+2957 chars]
