Newswise A COVID-19 diagnostic tool invented at Texas Tech University is getting a big push into global markets.
EviroTech LLC announced today (May 7) a $4 million investment into the company by 1701 Ventures GmbH of Göttingen, Germany, which will allow EviroTech to complete the final design, production startup and market introduction of its Ultra-Fast COVID-19 detection sensor.
The Ultra-Fast COVID-19 detection sensor is a rapid and portable tool for COVID-19 diagnosis with the ability to sense the presence or absence of the virus SARS-CoV-2 in a saliva sample within seconds. The portability and speed of results makes this sensor a transformational diagnostic tool for rapid initial screening and continuous monitoring of an individual.

Texas Tech Professor Creates Ultra-Fast COVID-19 Sensor
LUBBOCK, TX Testing for COVID-19 has been an integral part of determining how the virus spreads, but nose swabs tests were an uncomfortable process. In response innovators at Texas Tech University created the Ultra-Fast COVID-19 detection sensor.
This new sensor is a rapid and portable tool for COVID-19 diagnosis with the ability to sense the presence or absence of the virus SARS-CoV-2 in a saliva sample within seconds.
The Ultra-Fast COVID-19 sensor is an antigen-based electrochemical device. This means it can detect the spike proteins found in SARS-CoV-2 during the early stages of the infection, unlike antibody testing.
