MobileDetect Covid-19 Testing Technology & Solution - (RT-LAMP)

A major part of the challenge that our country & the world is confronted with right now is having a COVID test that is highly sensitive, accurate, inexpensive AND gives a rapid result. Antigen testing has a higher than desirable false negative rate and PCR is too expensive with turnaround times that are simply too long to help us stop the spread of the virus.  With PCR results typically taking 2-5 days or more, an individual can easily be infected (multiple times) in the time between their test and the result being delivered leading to a false sense of security and making it counterproductive to test in this way.  Individuals can unknowingly become "super-spreaders” as they may be positive, but go about their normal activity for a few days while awaiting their results.

This new type of molecular testing uses LAMP (Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification) technology, which is simply a different DNA amplification process than PCR but with very similar sensitivity (98%).
