Simon Clarke, associate professor in cellular microbiology at the University of Reading, said: “This is a very interesting and potentially important advance … but I think the authorities in the UK would be wise to conduct independent evaluation, given how they’ve had their fingers burned with other tests that they’ve purchased.
