If I get this right this sensor could be reused until it is saturated with positive detection? (one or more positive patients depending on intensity of the signal) That would be a complete game-changer compared to PCR where tests that turn out negative are exactly as expensive as positives which incentivizes against testing without suspicion.
- usrusr 6y agops: very unlikely to have reusability beyond one positive, I failed to consider the increasing concentration in the successive spikes. No change in my general assessment, could be the second best thing to a vaccine if it can be turned into a well performing product.
- karmakaze 6y agoThis has a good impact on the economics of testing. If each test device paid for can find one positive case, there's motivation to expand testing.
