Greetings all
Proof of further development of Paraytec’s CX300 rapid test and expansion of the team at Sheffield University working under the great Professor Carl Smythe has in the last few days advertised for a Research Assistant in Biosensor Development, specifically to work with the Paraytec CX300 rapid test device presumably reference the RNS released today 16/06/2022 which states: -
Paraytec has recently received ethical and HRA approval to proceed with a clinical study at the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This study will collect specimens from COVID-19 positive participants for up to ten days and monitor the ability of the Paraytec test to follow the course of infection by comparison with the culture of SARS-CoV-2 virus from the specimens. The test performance will also be compared with PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and lateral flow tests. If successful, the Directors believe these results will be a powerful demonstration of the accuracy and uniqueness of the Paraytec test.
