A new diagnostic test, developed at the University of Southampton, could provide rapid, inexpensive testing of COVID-19 recent trials have shown.

Current testing using the standard PCR test requires samples to be sent to a laboratory which means results are not available until one or two days later.

The new test, developed by the University’s Zepler Institute for Photonics and Nanoelectronics (ZIPN), can detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19 in 10 – 15 minutes.
