Just confirmed WHO uses novacyt kit, they were the ones that ordered the 200k plus kit.
Evidence written on ggg’s article translated below
Currently, a bottleneck in RT-PCR testing is the need to transport samples to a central laboratory for testing. If RT-PCR can be completed on the front line of the epidemic, it will save medical staff a lot of time. For example, along this development direction, researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a molecular detection system that can quickly diagnose the epidemic situation. It integrates microfluidic technology and silicon-based miniature heating elements, which can be used in 40 minutes. The test results are given in. This technology platform has received CE approval from the European Union.
The portable RT-PCR instrument developed by Novac in Europe can obtain the test results in two hours, and it has obtained CE approval. A research-only test was launched on February 17 and is seeking emergency use authorization from the FDA.
