The University of Michigan has developed the fastest testing technique

In which 22 samples can be tested simultaneously in just 5 minutes without heating.

• The researchers claim that the new investigation method differs from the current investigation process
• The sample does not have to be heated and the PCR machine gives accurate results in real-time

Michigan. Amid the threat of corona, scientists around the world are working to find the exact technique and treatment to investigate as much as possible. Researchers at the University of Michigan in the US have developed a tax method that can test 22 samples simultaneously in 5 to 7 minutes. Their method differs from the existing corona screening process. The report will be available shortly. “We take samples by mouth for testing because, in other tests, the patient has to be annoyed when taking a sample from the nose,” the researchers said.

2 reasons for a test report to arrive in 5 minutes

According to the researchers, the new test gives results in 5 minutes. There are many reasons why test reports take less time. First the patient’s sample is taken from the mouth and not from the nose. Second, in the current testing, the sample has to be heated and go through a process of color change, while in the new test, the PCR machine reports the results in real time.

CDC guidelines implemented

According to research published in the Lansing State Journal, University of Michigan Emergency Medicine Physician Brett Cheburn has discovered a new method of testing. Professor Brett says the virus’s RNA is monitored during testing. At the same time, the guidelines of the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC) are followed. This makes testing easier.

New method pending approval

The researchers say the new testing is currently undergoing a process in the Clinical Laboratory Amendments Lab. Approval from the FDA must be sought after approval from here. It will then be available to the general public. However, the researchers did not say when the test would be available. Approval can take several weeks, says Professor Brett. But the whole team is quite optimistic about this investigation. We had been working on it for a long time.
