"The particles we can detect are very small-less than five micrometers in diameter-and we have here managed to capture particles with RNA virus in just a few breaths."
Scientists have developed a low-cost, portable, non-invasive device that uses light and saliva to test COVID-19 patients in less than 30 minutes.
There may soon be a new testing technique in the market for COVID-19 and it involves your smartphone. Read on to know more.
The technology developed by experts at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS), is capable of accurately diagnosing Covid-19 in just a few minutes -- far more quickly than a PCR test, which typically takes around 2 hours -- and with 98 per cent accuracy.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the huge gaps in India's health care system and the need for novel point-of-care solutions.
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, people have become more aware of the importance of timely and reliable diagnosis. Let's have a look at India's diagnostics sector post the coronavirus outbreak.
US researchers have developed a CRISPR technology that could potentially identify antibodies in blood samples of Covid patients faster than the existing tests for Covid-19.
Vaccines are now being administered to everyone who is above 18 years old. But there are few questions which can come to your mind -- should you get tested for the infection even after getting vaccinated for COVID-19? Read to know everything.
CoviSelf - self-test kit for COVID-19 is now available for the commoners in India. According to the company, the kit can show results in just 15 minutes. Read on to find out where you can buy this kit and how much you will have to pay.
Visitors without COVID test reports will be tested and quarantined till the results are available. The requirement also applies to residents of Karnataka who are returning to the state from any place outside Karnataka.
Nearly 10-20 pilgrims and the same number of locals are being tested positive every dayat the Kumbh Mela, revealed a team of the Health Ministry. They warned that this number has the potential to rapidly turn into an 'upsurge' in cases.
Experts have developed two new rapid diagnostic tests for COVID-19, one to detect variants and the other to differentiate between similar symptoms in other diseases.
Could dogs be allies in the fight against COVID-19? Researchers of a new study say that they can effectively sniff out the virus after minimal training.
To enable rapid COVID-19 testing, the University of Birmingham researchers have developed a new method called "Reverse Transcriptase Free EXPAR (RTF-EXPAR) testing." Read to know more about this new test.
The Dry Swab-Direct RT-PCR method involves collecting and transporting the nasal swab in a dry state.
The new technique may lead to improved diagnostic tests for emerging viruses that cause infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
Testing plays a key role in our efforts to contain and mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic by identifying infected individuals to help prevent further person-to-person transmission of COVID-19.
Just like a home-based pregnancy testing kit, the Feluda paper strip displays lines to show whether a person has the Covid-19 virus.
