221b Foundation and LogicInk have partnered to develop an instrument-free, non-invasive, saliva-based Covid-19 diagnostic biosensor. The diagnostic device will integrate Sherlock Biosciences’ CRISPR diagnostic technology with LogicInk’s DNA nanotechnology proprietary platform. It is expected to enable people to self-administer and detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
FluroTest Diagnostics Systems has collaborated with Total Testing Solutions to launch a first-of-its-kind pilot programme to introduce a high-volume Covid-19 testing system in California. The companies intend to move the test from the LA-based screening facilities, which are utilising it for research only purposes to commercial scale use, subject to receiving approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
