SARS-CoV-2 still has the world in its grasp with soaring infection numbers throughout Europe and the US. A Singapore start-up is coming up with a fast breath test based on IONICON’s PTR-TOF technology and dedicated BET breath sampling inlet system. The non-invasive COVID-19 test takes less than one minute and has been on a pilot clinical trial involving 180 patients. The results are promising, achieving 90% accuracy with 93% sensitivity. We support the scientists’ vision with expert advice, derived in many breath gas research projects, PTR-TOF trace gas analyzers and breath sampling solutions.
