LAWRENCE An at-home COVID-19 test developed by researchers at the University of Kansas is moving toward commercial production.
“We ve been talking to venture capitalists and large existing companies to help facilitate this translation that is taking the test out of the laboratory and moving it into the marketplace,” said Steven Soper, a Foundation Distinguished Professor with appointments in the School of Engineering and Department of Chemistry. “We’re doing this in a very accelerated fashion.”
Soper’s team, which includes a half-dozen graduate students in bioengineering and chemistry, has been working on the project since early June. They have been repurposing “lab on a chip” technology he had previously developed to give doctors simple tools to more easily and quickly diagnose conditions ranging from stroke to a variety of different cancers so that it could be used to select SARS-CoV-2 virus particles directly from saliva samples and count them one at a time
