BOULDER, Colo. — University of Colorado Boulder researchers developed a COVID-19 test that could be cheaper and more effective than the the traditional PCR test.
According to Roy Parker, a professor of biochemistry and director of CU’s BioFrontiers Institute, a scratch-and-sniff test may be a better way to control infections and would only cost 50 cents per test.
"One of the things we've been doing is trying to think about ways that you could do screening for people who are affected by COVID, but using symptoms instead of testing for the virus," Parker said.
