Design and clinical validation of a 3D-printed nasopharyngeal swab for COVID-19 testing

2020-06-20

Abstract excerpt

We describe the development and validation of a novel 3D-printed nasopharyngeal swab for the identification of SARS-CoV-2. We subjected the novel swab to mechanical and fluid absorption testing ex-vivo, and confirmed its ability to retain and release murine coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2. Compared to the Copan FLOQSwab, the novel swab displayed excellent correlation of RT-PCR cycle threshold values on paired clinical...
