TECHNOLOGY:
Detecting SARS-CoV2 using a Novel Real-Time Bioluminescent Assay
AFFILIATION:
University of Houston, Houston, Texas, United States
TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
Area:
Detection technologies for identification of SARS-CoV-2 from environmental samples
Tech Brief: We were able to detect the presence of SARS-CoV2 using bioluminescence in real time. Since our technology is in real-time, we are able to detect in a few minutes the presence or the absence of the virus in a given sample.
