Title:
COVID-19 Response - Rapid SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG Antibody Test with Smartphone Application Software Support and Centralized Data Transfer
Agreement Number:
950321
Agreement Value:
$463,864.00
Agreement Date:
May 18, 2020 - Mar 31, 2021
Description:
The project is to develop a Lateral Flow Immuno-Assay (LFIA) based COVID-19 IgM/IgG test to detect SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibody in the blood samples with overall sensitivity>94%, specificity>97%. This device is designed for both professional and/or home-use by serum,plasma as well as fingertip blood sample test.
This diagnostic solution will integrate with a mobile application, QR code and cloud network. The innovation will allow for real-time monitoring of COVID-19 spread by transmitting timely data to the public health networks; hence, achieving a low-cost and high-efficiency solution for the the relevant Public Health Agency for effective collection of test data.
