Popular Post rooster59 Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 Thailand develops one hour COVID-19 testing kit with 97% accuracy supawadee wangsri BANGKOK (NNT) - The National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) has launched a COVID-19 one-step test kit which is easy to use. The result will be known within about an hour and can be accurately read with the naked eye. It has also launched an RNA extraction kit for COVID-19 tests using domestic reagents and equipment to reduce the risk of a shortage of extraction kits during the crisis. Mr. Narong Sirilertworakun, NSTDA Director, disclosed the successful development of the COVID-19 RNA extraction method from a simple sample and the Colorimetric RT-LAMP COVID-19 test kit which can yield a result in a single step. He demonstrated the process of COVID-19 RNA sampling and extraction and using the research team’s COVID-19 test kit. The DNA extraction for COVID-19 detection using domestic reagents and equipment makes it possible to detect pathogens in humans, plants, and animals. It is as efficient as the imported extraction kits and cheaper. It can be used with chemicals that are avalable in the country and reduces the risk of a shortage of extraction kits during the epidemic. It is compatible with existing domestic disease detection equipment and enables Thailand to change from being an importer to a manufacturer of test kits. The Colorimetric RT-LAMP COVID-19 test kit has high specificity and rapidity with up to 97 percent accuracy. The result is shown in 1.15 hours, much sooner than the imported kit. If it changes from purple to yellow, it means the result is positive. Importantly, the testing materials are 1.5 times cheaper than the imported test kits. These two inventions will help the country reduce imports of RNA extraction kits and test kits if there is another COVID-19 outbreak or proactive tests are needed. They are ready for use immediately. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-07-18 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 Then roll it on out, free of charge of course for all those living in high risk areas, and of age where they may be possibly infected already but asymptomatic. Or is this just all hype without the real issue being taken care of. Test and see is my belief. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 What I miss in this article, and many others, is the question how long after the infection this will show a positive result. Will it show "positive" when a person was just infected on the flight to Thailand? Or will it only show if the person got infected maybe 3 or 7 days ago? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It explains that they have the virus, but it definitely wasn't their fault. Someone else gave it to them, and it wasn't due to anything that they did, or didn't do. It's designed with 'Face' in mind. ???? Edited July 18, 2020 by thequietman 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I understand this correct that you think we should all blame ourselves if we get the virus? Personally I wear a mask and I try to do social distancing. But I don't think it's impossible that I get the virus. We can all be cautious but there is a certain amount of bad luck involved. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRToMRT Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 This is a not a new "development", its just that its now being manufactured locally in Thailand. The test itself has been around since March at least. Being manufactured locally is a GOOD thing though if it makes it more widely and cheaply available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot123 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 What utter tosh just like the coconut bullet proof vests cures for Ebola etc because one could go on and on. At best this will be stolen work or at worst like the bomb detectors that could not even get a random yes no percentage on detection. When tests from leading farms are giving false positives for cold virus, flu virus and even vaccine there of. Tosh utter Tosh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianp0803 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 97% accuracy 1.5 times cheaper than other methods 1.15 hours to get results After 2 weeks in quarantine and no symptoms, then negative result. Otherwise positive. If 97% accurate, and the wait time before exam is accurate is less than 2 weeks, then maybe possible to end quarantine after a negative test result. I suspect the test is not 97% accurate, or can only detect the virus two weeks after initial infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 This test kit sounds very similar to the SARS-Cov-2 Rapid Colorimetric LAMP Assay Kit launched by New England Biolabs in July 2020. https://www.technologynetworks.com/immunology/product-news/sars-cov-2-rapid-colorimetric-lamp-assay-kit-enables-visual-detection-of-novel-coronavirus-337353 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Redline Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Great! No more excuses mass testing is too expensive~test everyone and quarantine those positive.

tso310 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 In late March Sky News UK showed a report from Thailand demonstrating a 90 min locally developed test. Needless to say it disappeared without trace. Now it maybe that it wasn't sensitive enough and it has been refined successfully. The problem is that to many times have Thais come up with something which hasn't been tested/scrutinesed to international standards. We'll have to wait and see or should I say not hear on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 So the title was one hour and 97% accuracy. Then in the text it says 'up to 97%' and '1-1.5 hours' 30% is 'up to 97%' 1.5 hours is 505 more than 10 hour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Ah LAMP, very good, better than PCR. So, how many can they produce, what about the sampling procedure, how will these be distributed, when can I go get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
