00:00<\/b> Coronavirus Live: Novel COVID-19 antibody test gives results in 20 minutes<\/font>
Scientists have developed a new accurate and reliable test to detect antibodies for SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, which gives results in less than 20 minutes. The serological assay, described in the journal Scientific Reports. is as accurate as the most reliable antibody tests currently available, but is less complex and can be performed much faster.<\/div>

<\/div>
The gold standard for serological testing is a complex laboratory method called ELISA that takes four to six hours to run and provides quantitative results indicating the strength of the immune response.<\/div>
Simpler assays using test strips provide rapid results, but are less reliable and do not quantify antibody levels, the researchers said.<\/div><\/div>","entype":"Text","h":"","img":"","imgalt":"","imgcaption":"","key":"False","link":"","s":22,"sub":"","t":"Dec 10, 2020-16:52:26","title":"
