The Paraytec test is based on the principle of rapid labelling of a pathogen (in this case the SARS-Cov2 virus) with a light-emitting molecule. Importantly, this work has demonstrated the broader capabilities of the photonics-based platform to give a quick and quantified test result. It may be used with various labelling chemistries such as aptamers or antibodies, depending on the user's needs and this enables adoption of this technology for the identification of other pathogens, or the new variants of COVID-19 that are beginning to emerge worldwide.
