US Scientists Develop Technology That Detects Virus Through Smartphones

US Scientists claims to test and detect Virus through the mobile cameras. According to the experts, CRISPR-Cas, a 'bacterial defence system technology' will increase the efficiency of existing testing-methods. Skipping "the process of reverse transcription of RNA to DNA" and its "subsequent amplification by PCR  technology", the 'nasal-swab-sample' will react and split the RNA producing fluorescence. The Fluorescence can be detected with… read-more
