Corona testing is one of the most important aspects of corona virus control. The current methods of corona testing are quite time consuming and costly. However, a team of scientists from University College London has discovered a method of detecting corona with the help of smartphones. This method is considered to be a groundbreaking discovery for poor countries.
Corona testing method from smartphone is called phone screen testing method or post method for short. The RT-PCR method tests human salivation, in which case samples are collected from the screen of a smartphone.
University College London conducted a study on this. A group of people who underwent RT-PCR tests were all tested with samples from their mobile screens. It has been seen that all those who have passed the RT-PCR test have tested positive in the post method.
How does this test the question that may arise? In this case, the ‘swab’ obtained from the screen of the smartphone is mixed with salt water. The test is then performed in the same way as the RT-PCR test. Post test success is similar to RT-PCR.
University College of London. The tests were performed on a total of 540 people, led by Rodrigo Young. This process can be tested at very low cost and in a short time, he said.
