This test could be conducted at a doctor’s office or hospital clinic, for example. The aptamer-based test works with a small sample of saliva, which when added to a chemical reagent, is inserted into a small reader attached to a smartphone, providing accurate results within minutes. The research and commercialization efforts are part of McMaster’s Global Nexus for Pandemics and Biological Threats. “The pandemic has certainly not been positive,” Soleymani says, “but it has brought together many people to give us a chance to work together on one common goal.” McMaster biochemist Yingfu Li and engineer Leyla Soleymani, working with several other academic collaborators and clinician colleagues from the Faculties of Health Sciences, Science and Engineering at McMaster, had earlier established that their diagnostic test is effective for identifying COVID-19 and can be readily adapted to detect other forms of infection.
