A team of Turkish scientists has developed an ultra-rapid coronavirus test with 99% accuracy that can be used to detect the Covid-19 / SARS Cov2.
The new nanotechnology-based diagnostic system can detect the COVID-19 virus
within 10 seconds with a swab taken from the mouth.
The system, is called
Diagnovir and developed within the infrastructure of Bilkent UNAM, the joint work of Dr. Bülend Ortaç and his team, Bilkent Holding and E-A Technology operating in Bilkent Cyberpark Technology Development Zone.
It is an optically based diagnostic and identification system that
changes the color of the glow in the presence of the virus, thus detecting viruses with high selectivity.
