Purpose
The Project is to optimize unique latex agglutination tests (LATs) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in saliva in an inexpensive "chewable diagnostic" format. The LATs for SARS-CoV-2 are to be performed in a single step, with the aim that the results will be readable by visual inspection, with the potential for automated readout via a smart-phone. By the end of this Project, LATs implemented in the chewable cartridge format will have been developed, optimized, and evaluated in a pilot scale clinical trial.
