Singapore scientists’ new invention can detect corona in few minutes

Researchers in Singapore have developed an innovative device that can detect Covid-19 in just a few minutes. It analyzes a person’s breath and detects corona traces in it. The Singapore government recently granted temporary permission for this testing kit. Professor T.Venki Venkatesan, who is of Indian descent, was also part of the team that developed this device. The device was developed by Britonics, a startup affiliated with the National University of Singapore (NUS).

This breath test device is called the ‘BreFence Go COVID breath test’ from Breathonix. Unlike RTPCR and Rapid antigens tests, it gives results in a few minutes. There is no need to end the samples in the labs. A breath analyzer developed by Singaporean researchers gives results at a faster rate.
