'SMART' Facemask/Saliva At-Home or Anywhere COVID-19 Test-kit
SMART (S-protein Molecular Assay enabling Real-time Tracing). An easy-to-use, smartphone-compatible, at-home, rapid detection kit can be developed which detects SARS-Cov-2 virus in saliva, via spit collection, or expirate, following respiratory/aerosol capture via a PVDF nanofiber membrane, utilized as a breathable facemask insert.
Innovation: This kit consists of three reagent bottles with a single capture wand. Briefly, following ~1-2 hrs of use, the PVDF facemask insert is placed into Bottle A, which contains viral eluting solution and anti-SARS-Cov-2 enzyme-like immuno-nanoconstructs. Alternatively, the user could simply spit a 1-3 mL volume of saliva into the Bottle A. A polystyrene capture wand, loaded with anti-SARS-Cov-2 antibody-labeled polystyrene beads, may be placed into Bottle A and incubated for ~1 hr. During this incubation step, SARS-Cov-2 will be sandwiched between the immuno-nanoconstructs and the beads on the wand. The wand will be removed and rinsed in Bottle B. Subsequently, the wand will be added to Bottle C which contains the colorimetric catalyst. Bottle C also has a proprietary QR-code printed to the bottom of the opaque bottle with transparent windows at the reference boxes of the pattern. After ~2-60 min, depending on the viral concentration, the color of the solution will change to a blue-green and fill the reference boxes with color. Upon imaging by a smartphone of the pattern at the bottom of Bottle C, our app will (1) determine if the viral protein has been detected, (2) inform the user that they should seek clinical diagnostic testing, and (3) send secure, HIPAA compliant test results, metadata, and location data for geospatial contact tracing. We welcome collaboration and partnership from all innovative parties to bring this product to a market which desperately needs it.
Background: Smartphones can be utilized to collect, analyze and transmit images, and leveraged to provide geospatial and demographic data, in near real-time. Smartphone-compatible (SC) technology such as QR codes/barcodes and image analysis are in widespread use among the public worldwide. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are field-deployable, medical point-of-care assays that are easily operated. Most RDTs employ sandwich assay technology where an antigen is captured between an antibody-labeled substrate and an antibody-labeled nanoprobe. Electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers have been shown to readily capture aerosols/respiratory droplets and were demonstrated to provide personal protection against airborne SARS-Cov-2 virus on the N98 standard. Further, they were reported to be at least 10X more breathable than a conventional N95 respirator.
What is the Specificity and Sensitivity, as well as LOD for the testing method described above.
How would COVID test reporting requirements be met with your test system? How would AOEs be collected, results transmitted to public health etc as required for all non surveillance COVID testing? Or is this designed to be a surveillance test?
How do you ensure the patient performed the test correctly and has valid results (i.e. they didn't give it to their dog, drop it into the toilet or put it in their ear?) Such approaches may be accidental or intentional (i.e. to get a neg result to go back to work or school).
Thanks for sharing.
When having covid-19, I am so bored because I have to be at home. Geometry Dash Unblocked helped me overcome the boring time and Now still.
Smart is a test-kit that can be used to test your saliva for glucose levels. It’s especially subway surfers helpful if you’re trying to watch your glucose levels, as it is much easier to do so at home rather than quordle when you’re in the doctor’s office. Smart works by combining your saliva with a small drop of blood.
