AFFILIATION:
Weinberg Medical Physics, Inc., N Bethesda, Maryland, United States
TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
Area:
Detection technologies for identification of SARS-CoV-2 from environmental samples
Tech Brief: Our magnetic particles bind to and detect structures with specific sizes and shapes. We can detect this binding in seconds with a handheld NMR.
SHOWCASE SUMMARY
Org Type:
Small to Medium Enterprise
