This is a game changer.......All COVID vaccine maker and Govt would need this unique testing method that does not involved live virus culture
- As a first-in-the-world "rapid smart test kit", the cPass™ which can measure neutralising antibodies in an hour will be a huge boost to current COVID-19 investigations, from contact tracing, sero-prevalence survey, and assessment of herd immunity, longevity of protective immunity and efficacy of different vaccine candidates.
- The global community will be able to use the cPass™ as unlike conventional test kits it does not require live biological materials or biosafety containment for testing.
- This test would be instrumental in vaccine and therapeutic development as it is suitable for all antibody isotypes and can be used to determine antibodies in different animal species without any modification.
