wustl.edu) can be applied to the skin, capture a biomarker of interest and, thanks to its unprecedented sensitivity, allow clinicians to detect the presence of antibodies that signal a viral or bacterial infection, such as SARS-CoV-2. The new technology which is low cost and easy for a clinician or patients themselves to use, could eliminate the need for a trip to the hospital just for a blood draw. Researchers Develop Accurate, HighSpeed, Portable Bi-Functional Electrical Detector for COVID-19

cientists at the Peking University (Beijing, China; www.pku.edu.cn) have developed an unprecedented accurate, rapid, and portable

electrical detector based on the use of graphene field-effect transistors (G-FETs) for the detection of RNA from COVID-19 patients. The unique feature of this method is that the extent of hybridization between the ss-DNA probe and viral RNA can be directly converted to the current change of graphene channels without repetition of the PCR process, thus affording an ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 fg/mL for the detection of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene target of SARS-CoV-2.

Annual Review 2021 entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mesa Biotech (San Diego, CA, USA; www. mesabiotech.com), a privately held molecular diagnostic company, for approximately USD 450 million in cash. Mesa Biotech has developed and commercialized a PCR-based rapid point-of-care testing platform available for detecting infectious diseases including SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A and B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and Strep A. Mesa Biotech’s patented technology expands the availability of gold standard nucleic acid PCR amplification to point-of-care diagnostics.

MARCH Non-Invasive Skin Swab Samples Enough to Quickly Detect COVID-19, Finds New Study

on-invasive skin swab samples are enough to quickly detect COVID-19, according to findings of a new study by researchers at the

Top 50 COVID-19 Diagnostics Milestones of the Year University of Surrey (Guildford, Surrey, UK; www.surrey.ac.uk). The team collected sebum samples from 67 hospitalized patients - 30 who had tested positive for COVID-19 and 37 who had tested negative and found that patients with a positive COVID-19 test had lower lipid levels - or dyslipidemia - than their counterparts with a negative test. Low Cost Pinprick COVID-19 Test Detects SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in Drop of Blood in Under an Hour

new COVID-19 serology test developed by researchers at the University of Toronto (Toronto, ON, Canada; www.utoronto.ca) uses highly sensitive protein complementation chemistry to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a drop of blood in less than an hour. The pinprick test that accurately measures the concentration of coronavirus antibodies in blood in under one hour costs about a tenth of the current tests based on ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) methods which are considered the gold standard when it comes to measuring antibody concentration as a strength of individual immune response.

APRIL

Fast, Portable Test Can Diagnose COVID-19 and Track Variants

linicians using a new viral screening test developed by researchers at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies (La Jolla, CA, USA: www.salk.edu) can not only diagnose COVID-19 in a matter of minutes with a portable, pocket-sized machine, but can also simultaneously test for other viruses - like influenza - that might be mistaken for the coronavirus. The new test, dubbed NIRVANA, can also sequence the SARS-CoV-2 virus, providing valuable information on the spread of COVID-19 mutations and variants. Diagnostic Microchip Inserted Under Skin Can Detect COVID-19

n implantable microchip developed by medical researchers at the US Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA; Arlington, VA, USA; www.darpa.mil) can detect COVID-19 when inserted under the skin. The microchip, embedded in a tissue-like gel, would continuously test the chip recipient’s blood for presence of the coronavirus. Upon detecting COVID-19, the chip would alert the patient to conduct a self-administered rapid blood test to confirm the positive result.

study by scientists at The Rockefeller University (New York, NY, USA: www.rocke feller.edu) of rare cases in which people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID and are immune to the virus can nevertheless develop the disease suggests that COVID testing may be here to stay. The new findings suggest

that these so-called breakthrough cases may be driven by rapid evolution of the virus, and that ongoing testing of immunized individuals will be important to help mitigate future outbreaks. 20-Minute COVID-19 Test Pairs Mass Spectrometer with Machine Learning to Detect SARS-CoV-2 in Nasal Swabs

novel COVID-19 test developed by researchers at UC Davis Health (Sacramento, CA, USA: www.health.ucdavis.edu) uses an analytical instrument known as a mass spectrometer, which is paired with a powerful machine-learning platform to detect SARS-CoV-2 in nasal swabs. The novel method has shown to be 98.3% accurate for positive COVID-19 tests and 96% for negative tests. The accuracy matches or outperforms many of the current COVID-19 screening tests. The new testing method may allow for the rapid screening of large numbers of individuals for businesses, schools, venues and other large facilities.

MAY Highly Accurate Chip-Based Technology Improves COVID-19 Testing and Tracing

team of researchers at The University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM, USA; www.unm.edu) has developed a chip that provides a simpler and more rapid method of genome sequencing for viruses like COVID-19. The scientists created a tiled genome array they had developed for rapid and inexpensive full viral genome resequencing and applied their SARS-CoV-2-specific genome tiling array to rapidly and accurately resequence the viral genome from eight clinical samples acquired from patients in Wyoming that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Ultimately, they were able to sequence 95% of the genome of each sample with greater than 99.9% accuracy. New Ultra-Fast Test for COVID-19 Antibodies Uses AI to Analyze and Confirm Results in Less Than Five Minutes

he University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT, USA; www.utah.edu), ARUP Laboratories (Salt Lake City, UT, USA; www.aruplab.com) and Techcyte Inc. (Orem, UT, USA; www. techcyte.com) have formed a partnership to develop the NanoSpot.AI rapid COVID-19 antibody test. The less than five-minute, easy-to-administer SARS-CoV-2 antibody test is estimated to be significantly less expensive to manufacture, creating the potential for the test to be considerably more affordable than currently available tests and making it possible to extend the test to every corner of the world. Cheap COVID-19 Test Accurately Detects Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 from More than 1,000 Blood Samples at Once

Annual Review 2021 FL; Lausanne, Switzerland; www.actu.epfl. ch), University of Geneva (UNIGE; Geneva, Switzerland; www.unige.ch) and Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG; Geneva, Switzerland; www.hug.ch) has developed a reliable and cheap COVID-19 antibody test that can analyze more than 1,000 samples at once and requires a small drop of blood, such as that from a finger prick. The highly accurate test can analyze hundreds of samples at the same time, using minute quantities of reagents and single drops of blood. 3D Printing Paves Way for New Type of COVID-19 Lateral Flow Test with More Capabilities

esearchers at KU Leuven (Leuven, Belgium; www.kuleuven.be) have developed a 3D printing technique that extends the possibilities of COVID-19 lateral flow tests

Top 50 COVID-19 Diagnostics Milestones of the Year and enable production of quick, cheap, and easy to use advanced diagnostic tests. Using a 3D printer, the bioengineers have fabricated a 3D version of a lateral flow test. The basis is a small block of porous polymer, in which ‘inks’ with specific properties are printed at precise locations. In this way, a network of channels and small ‘locks’ is printed that let the flow through or block it where and when necessary, without the need for moving parts. During the test, the sample is automatically guided through the different test steps. That way, even complex protocols can be followed.

Cruz (Santa Cruz, CA, USA; www.ucsc. edu) can detect individual viral antigens in nasal swab samples to identify the viruses that cause COVID-19 and flu with a single test. The novel chip-based antigen test can provide ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A, the viruses that cause COVID-19 and flu, respectively. The test is sensitive enough to detect and identify individual viral antigens one by one in nasal swab samples. This ultrasensitive technique could eventually be developed as a molecular diagnostic tool for point-of-care use.

New COVID-19 Test Combines AI and Nanopore Technology to Detect SARSCoV-2 at POC in Five Minutes

esearchers at Osaka University (Osaka, Japan; www.osaka-u.ac.jp) have developed a new highly sensitive test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that utilizes a fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and nanopore technology which may enable rapid point-of-care testing for COVID-19. The team demonstrated that single virus particles passing through a nanopore could be accurately identified using machine learning. The test platform they created was so sensitive that the coronaviruses responsible for the common cold, SARS, MERS, and COVID could be distinguished from each other. This work may lead to rapid, portable, and accurate screening tests for COVID and other viral diseases. Low-Cost, Easy-To-Use Lab-on-Paper SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Test Provides Accurate Results within an Hour

esearchers at University of Connecticut (Mansfield, CT, USA; www.uconn.edu) have invented an easy-to-use, affordable lab-onpaper diagnostic technology for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 infection, that provides accurate results within an hour. The device uses a specialized kind of paper material to detect two SARS-CoV-2 genes - the spike (S) and nucleoprotein (N) genes. The clinical samples validated these genes as good candidates for diagnostic tests because they are highly conserved. This means they are so essential to the virus they are likely found in all variants. By testing two genes rather than one, the test is more accurate.

The team of scientists made their discovery by testing a variety of chemicals using synthetic and human samples to identify those that could preserve the RNA in samples with minimal degradation while allowing direct detection of the virus by using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). New CRISPR-Based Technology Could Revolutionize COVID-19 Diagnostics

new CRISPR-based technology developed by scientists at Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA, USA; www.hms. harvard.edu) and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Boston, MA, USA; www.brigh amandwomens.org) could revolutionize antibody-based COVID-19 medical diagnostics. The team have repurposed the genetic modification technology CRISPR to identify antibodies in patient blood samples in a move that could inspire a new class of medical diagnostics in addition to a host of other applications. Testing Saliva as Reliable as Nasal Swab and Detects 93% of COVID-19 Infections, Finds Study

real-world trial by researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA, USA; www.bidmc.org) has demonstrated that COVID-19 tests of self-collected saliva provided comparable results to tests performed by trained healthcare professionals using Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs. Based on their analysis, the researchers concluded that saliva tests detect 93% of COVID-19 infections in an outpatient setting. The findings could help alleviate the testing bottlenecks that have constrained COVID-19 testing since early in the pandemic.

SEPTEMBER Cheap 5-Minute COVID-19 Test Accurately Detects SARS-CoV-2 Antibody in Blood or Saliva

esearchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong Kong; www. polyu.edu.hk) have developed an ultrafast, low-cost, label-free, and portable SARSCoV-2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) detection platform based on organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), which can be remotely controlled by a mobile phone. The device can detect SARSCoV-2 IgG with an ultralow detection limit of 1 fM in aqueous solutions and 10 fM in serum and saliva within five minutes.

OCTOBER New COVID-19 Antigen Testing Method Offers Highly Accurate Results in Less than Three Minutes

esearchers at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL, USA; www.northwestern.edu) have leveraged a cantilever-based sensor platform to develop rapid, cost-effective and multiplexed antigen test, with potential for point-of-care diagnosis. Its high sensitivity to specific proteins may allow the platform to detect different viruses, COVID-19 variants and test-related markers, with potential for using breath for COVID-19 testing. Study Questions Popular COVID-19 Test and Proposes New Marker of Disease Severity

esearchers at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Moscow, Russia; www.skoltech.ru) who were studying the immune response to COVID-19 in patients with different levels of disease severity have found that half of the patients without symptoms did not actually produce significant amounts of IgG antibodies of a kind targeted by many popular test kits. Nevertheless, the study found that nearly all patients produced another kind of antibodies, whose count was sometimes even higher in asymptomatic cases, leading the researchers to suggest the ratio between the two counts as an indicator of disease severity.

collaborative study by the University of Warwick (Coventry, UK; www://war wick.ac.uk), Iceni Diagnostics Ltd. (Norwich, UK; www.icenidiagnostics.com) and UHCW NHS Trust (Coventry and Warwickshire, UK; www.uhcw.nhs.uk) has demonstrated a new technology to detect SARS-COV-2 using sugars rather than antibodies. The new research showed that glycans (sugars) can be used to detect COVID-19 infection from swab samples. The proof of concept demonstrated that next generation glycan-based rapid diagnostics can be deployed in real world situations. New Flow Control Technology Turns Simple COVID-19 Dipstick Tests into Complex Biomedical Assays

team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, GA, USA; www.gatech.edu) attempting to overcome the limitations of dipsticks have developed a flow control technology that can turn these simple tests into complex biomedical assays. The researchers have applied the new technology in a toolkit to diagnose the novel coronavirus, as well as influenza. LabMedica International December/2021-January/2022

Annual Review 2021 NOVEMBER COVID-19 PCR and Antibody Tests Record Negative Result in People with ‘Immune Memory’

n observational study by scientists from University College London (London, UK; www.ucl.ac.uk) that analyzed the immune responses in healthcare workers has found that some of them repeatedly tested negative for COVID-19 by PCR and antibody tests, but showed an increase in immune memory cells. The findings suggest that by designing vaccines that activate these immune memory cells, known as T cells, to attack infected cells expressing this part of the virus’s internal machinery, it may be possible to eliminate SARSCoV-2 at the very outset, thereby helping stop its spread.

Top 50 COVID-19 Diagnostics Milestones of the Year Technique Identifies Potential COVID-19 False Positives from RT-PCR Tests

esearchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine (Columbia, MO, USA; https://medicine.missouri.edu) have developed and tested a process to identify potential false-positive COVID-19 results. The new method could help other laboratories prevent unnecessary quarantining and repeated testing of people who are not actually infected. New Device Detects Viruses like COVID-19 in the Body as Fast as Rapid Tests With 95% Accuracy

esearchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF; Orlando, FL, USA; http://www.ucf.edu) have developed a device that detects viruses like COVID-19 in

the body as fast as and more accurately than current, commonly used rapid detection tests. The optical sensor uses nanotechnology to accurately identify viruses in seconds from blood samples. Researchers say the device can tell with 95% accuracy if someone has a virus, a significant improvement over current rapid tests that experts warn could have low accuracy. High-Volume PCR and Rapid Antigen Tests Unlikely To Be Impacted by New Omicron Variant, Says US FDA

igh-volume polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and antigen (rapid) tests show a low likelihood of being impacted by the new Omicron variant, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD, USA; www.fda. gov). However, the agency will continue to closely review and adjust course as needed. The FDA is now actively working with its federal partners, international regulators and medical product companies to address any potential impacts of the new omicron variant on the tools to fight the pandemic.

Stand Z4.F30

new test devised by biomedical engineers at Duke University (Durham, NC, USA; www.duke.edu) can quickly and easily assess how well a person’s neutralizing antibodies fight infection from multiple variants of COVID-19 such as Delta and the newly discovered Omicron variant. The test could potentially tell doctors how protected a patient is from new variants and those currently circulating in a community or, conversely, which monoclonal antibodies to treat a COVID-19 patient. Lab-Based COVID-19 PCR Tests Fail to Distinguish New ‘Stealth’ Version of Omicron from Other Variants

micron, the new SARS-CoV-2 variant, lacks a specific feature that allows PCR tests to distinguish probable cases among COVID-19 positive individuals, according to a report by The Guardian. Scientists claim to have identified a “stealth” version of Omicron that cannot be distinguished from other SARSCoV-2 variants using PCR tests utilized by public health officials to gain an understanding of its spread globally.
