The test, which is currently in its research phase, is the brainchild of Deep Biologics, a Guelph, Ont.-based company. The federal government recently award the company $300,000 through the National Resource Council of Canada in hopes of turning the idea into a reality.
This new diagnostic test, once developed, would be completely self-contained, which means it would not need to be brought to a lab. Instead, anyone being tested could find out their status on the spot — a convenience factor that could have practical applications for airports, schools and workplaces. The NRC is investing nearly $1.2 million into four Canadian companies, including Deep Biologics, that are developing similar tests. All of the companies are working on different tests that would use saliva samples and could determine results in 20 minutes or less.
We will see...
Yeah heard that one before! What happened to the company everybody in Canadian media was blathering about that was going to do automatic test about 2 month ago? We spent how many millions on? Fancy little silver box that didn't work. Let's wait and see if it works please!
How do they know it will be 20 minutes when its still in the development stage?
Why would you need a test for nothing? Again you make no sense.
