isothermal amplification

The firm will develop a rapid isothermal molecular test for human samples using direct electrical sensing of nucleic acid amplification.

Both firms will develop rapid, home-use diagnostic tests to simultaneously detect SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B.

New systems to directly detect nucleic acids from patient samples are on the horizon, but still fall short of gold standard amplification-based techniques and likely face a difficult regulatory path.
