If this can be scaled up quickly, it could enable a significant increase in testing throughput without sacrificing accuracy.

Dew, I get the potential significant increase in throughput but was there something I missed that indicated accuracy is not sacrificed? I'm not saying it is since I know nothing about this testing but it didn't seem to address that.

I’m surprised that the COVID-19 saliva test mentioned in (#msg-154980944) isn’t getting more attention. It seems to be a clear logistical improvement compared to nasopharyngeal swabbing.

Re: Rutgers’ COVID-19 saliva test

FDA approves Rutgers’ COVID-19 saliva test that people can perform themselves at home. It could enable a significant increase in testing throughput without sacrificing accuracy.

Nowhere in the article does it state "people can perform themselves at home". There is also no mention of accuracy.

From the article it looks like it could be 2-4 day turnaround...

Jay A. Tischfield, founder, chief executive officer and scientific director of RUCDR said, “The test can help hospital-based and private physicians to accurately assess the infection status of more patients, with RUCDR Infinite Biologics doing the analysis.”
