(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist); Scientists at Oxford University have now developed a rapid antigen kit for testing the coronavirus, which can complete the entire process in just 5 minutes. Researchers released details about this on Thursday. Along with this, they have said that it can be used in mass testing of large numbers of people in airports and businesses. The special feature of this device is that it can detect other viruses and coronavirus with great accuracy.
Professor Achilles Kapanedis of the Physics Department of Oxford said, ‘Our method is one that quickly detects the virus particles. It will be very simple, very fast and low cost. Researchers expect the production of this Rapid Antigen Testing Kit to begin in early 2021. It will also be available for use on a large scale within 6 months only.
