Real-Time Analyzers (RTA), a developer of chemical and biological agent analysers for the US military, has developed a saliva-based Covid-19 test kit. The COVID-19 Saliva Antigen Test kit includes a straw-like tube to gather and transfer saliva to a sample vial, to which buffer is then added in order to inactivate the virus in the saliva, and a pipette to transfer a few drops to a pregnancy-style test strip. Saliva flows across the strip, and generates a test result in 15-20 minutes. One visible line on the strip indicates that the user is not infected and two visible lines indicate that the user is infected.
