Global Overview of COVID-19 Testing. The Development of a Core Curriculum. The Virus Project commissioned a research report by BALSA a consulting enterprise operating from the Washington University in St. Louis. The report provides an overview of the scientific, regulatory and market issues for the COVID-19 testing in the United States. It is an exceptional resource for understanding the COVID testing marketplace. The report provides an over view of this new market that largely did not exist in January 2020 but could reach $20 billion in revenues in 2021. It would be the fastest market growth for a dead start…

For its full members The Virus Project provides these two reports. A $750 Value. Foundational knowledge of COVID. US Report. Provides an overview of the scientific, regulatory and market issues for the COVID-19 testing market in the US and Europe. This market did not exist in January 2020 but could reach $20 billion in revenues in 2021. Growth Model on the potential size of the market and the various market segments. It includes an analysis of the impact on public stocks by COVID-19 during spring of 2020. Summary of core testing technologies. Molecular (PCR) tests and Serology IgM, IgA, IgG…
[mepr-show rules=”18700″ unauth=”message”] Overview: Decombio Technology, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California. They specialise in assembling, packaging and distributing colloidal gold diagnostic instruments in North Americas. Their product received acknowledgment from the U.S. FDA, with permission to distribute. Test Name: Noval Coronavirus (SARS- COV-2) IgM/IgG Combo Rapid Test Testing Type: Immunochromatographic Lateral Flow Assay Technology: Take fingertip blood, serum, or plasma Pipette the sample and drop one drop of 10 ul into the sample hole. Add two drops of sample diluent to the sample hole. Test Sample Type: Whole blood, serum, or plasma Time to Result: 20 Minutes Testing…
Overview: BioSURE is a UK company specializing in the provision of rapid in-vitro diagnostic testing solutions. They focus on the development, manufacturing, and distribution of rapid tests. It developed the first CE-marked self-test for HIV in 2015. Test Name: BioSURE COVID-19 Self-Test (in partnership with Mologic) Testing Type: Lateral flow chromatography assay Technology: The BioSURE COVI-19 Self-Test will be an antibody test that will use technology that is very similar to that of a pregnancy test. The test will detect the presence of IgG antibodies to the COVID-19 virus, not COVID-19 itself. The BioSURE COVID-19 Self-Test will be as easy as…
[mepr-show rules=”18700″ unauth=”message”] Overview: The organization develops laboratory solutions, analytical instrumentation, and automated liquid handling platforms. Test Name: COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Test Kit Testing Type: Antibody test Technology: Bring the Test strip, Sample diluent tube, and sample to room temperature before testing.1. Add 50μl of Whole or peripheral blood or 20μl Serum and plasma to the Sample diluent tube and mix thoroughly. Add 3-4 drops to the sample pad section.2. Leave at room temperature for 10 minutes to observe the results. Results measured after 20 minutes are invalid and should be discarded. Test Sample Type: Human serum, plasma, or whole…
A new SARS-CoV-2-specific serology assay, using a rapid gel agglutination assay, has been designed and analysis shows that the tests can provide serological results for SARS-CoV-2 infection within 30 min, using an approach consistent with blood typing assays used routinely in hospital labs around the world. While large-scale efforts are underway to develop vaccines and antiviral therapies, the rapid development and deployment of diagnostic tests is of key importance. As we learn more about the immune response to SARS-CoV-2, recent reports suggest that IgG and IgM antibodies are produced either sequentially or simultaneously, with concentrations reaching a plateau 6 days…
A private Florida company, Healthe Lighting is offering a system to disinfecting people who walk through a framed doorway that uses Ultra Violet light. The cleansing takes about as long as going a scan at the airport. For UVC light is a lower spectrum of UV light that can isn’t harmful to humans that was recently developed at Columbia University and holds great promise to kill airborne pathogens such as the COVID-19. See related story entitled: Far UVC Light Kills Airborne Viruses that describes a technology developed at Columbia University. Fox news reporter Liz Clayman. Interviews the co-founder and Chief…
Intelligent strategy depends on quality information. The Virus Project is committed to deep understanding on all aspects of the pandemic. We are seeking specific information about those who have succumbed to the disease by getting detailed information as possible. We’re seeking to collect for a two or three day period during the midst data on the following. We expect this to number approximately 400 records. Age. Sex. Underlying conditions. (diabetic, high blood pressure) Occupation. Source of income. Number of dependents. Head of household. Residence. (live alone, with family, single family home, nursing home, apartment, shelter, etc.) Zip code. Suspected source…
