Molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 in gargle and saliva complements the standard analysis
of nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) specimens. Although gargle and saliva specimens can be …

The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for accurate, rapid, point-of-care
diagnostics to control disease transmission. We have developed a simple, ultrasensitive …

Measuring virus in biofluids is complicated by confounding biomolecules coisolated with
viral nucleic acids. To address this, we developed an affinity-based microfluidic device for …

The key to limiting SARS-CoV-2 spread is to identify virus-infected individuals (both
symptomatic and asymptomatic) and isolate them from the general population. Hence …

Deployment of molecular testing for SARS-CoV-2 in resource-limited settings is challenging.
Scale-up of molecular had to be conducted with a laboratory system strengthening approach …

The use of saliva for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) sparks debate due to presumed lower sensitivity and lack of standardization …

The oral cavity is thought to be one of the portals for SARS-CoV-2 entry, although there is
limited evidence of active oral infection by SARS-CoV-2 viruses. We assessed the capacity …

Accurate and early diagnoses are prerequisites for prompt treatment. For coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is even more crucial. Currently, choice of methods include rapid …

The aim of the study was to explore workforce experiences of the rapid implementation of a
SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic testing service (ATS) in a higher education setting during the …

Asymptomatic testing for SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been used to prevent and manage COVID-
19 outbreaks in university settings, but few studies have explored their implementation. The …
