Combating the coronavirus pandemic: Bosch develops rapid test for COVID-19

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is posing major challenges for healthcare systems and medical institutions worldwide. An ability to rapidly diagnose the virus is of invaluable help in curbing its exponential spread in many countries. Bosch’s new, fully automated rapid test for COVID-19 can help medical facilities such as doctors’ offices, hospitals, laboratories, and health centers make fast diagnoses.

The rapid molecular diagnostic test runs on the Vivalytic analysis device from Bosch Healthcare Solutions. “We want the Bosch rapid COVID-19 test to play a part in containing the coronavirus pandemic as quickly as possible. It will speed up the identification and isolation of infected patients,” says Dr. Volkmar Denner, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH.

Developed in just six weeks, the rapid test can detect a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection in patients in under two and a half hours — measured from the time the sample is taken to the time the result arrives.

Another advantage of the rapid test is that it can be performed directly at the point of care. This eliminates the need to transport samples, which takes up valuable time.

It also means patients quickly gain certainty about their state of health, while allowing infected individuals to be identified and isolated immediately. With the tests currently in use, patients must usually wait one to two days for a result.

“Time is of the essence in the fight against coronavirus. Reliable, rapid diagnosis directly on site with no back and forth — that is the great advantage of our solution, which we see as another example of technology that is ‘Invented for life,’” Denner says.

Welcome development.

Can someone convince our government to get on the phone with these people? A rapid test-kit that is also very accurate would be very helpful.

Once a carrier of covid-19 can be identify immediately, we stand a chance of defeating this virus.


This technology will help in tackling the spread.

Necessity is truly the mother of invention!

The ability to detect Coronavirus is key to stemming its spread.
In countries like Germany and South Korea,
testing was robust early on,
potentially keeping fatality rates low,
while a lack of testing in parts of Italy and the U.S. helped fuel the disease’s explosive growth.

Being imitator of good things in life is a written rule that should be followed by all.
This is what we need RIGHT NOW in our country and Africa at large.
We hope we work fast towards getting this into the country NOW.
Coronavirus is a deadly disease that must be fought till the very end.

Till then, KEEP SAFE GUYS.
Make sure your hygiene game is on point.

BreconHills:
Bosch is in Nigeria.
So the rapid test will surely come in. Bosch also has strong relationships with the FGN.

This makes it better.
We hope it gets here ASAP before the countries that have lost thousand of people to this deadly virus get all the supplies.

As at this very minute,
This is the LIVE UPDATES of Covid-19 casualties all over the world...(in EVERY country)... in TOTAL!

Coronavirus Cases:

540,832

Deaths:

Nice one

Na everything Germany for dey carry first

Too smart

Good, Nigeria government should contact them asap

Hmmn.

Wow

Good thinking.. we should replicate same in Nigeria

Since WW1 and WW2 the Germans have being known for their master engineering capabilities.

Ok

We are still at the beginning of this epidemic
Eve

Over here those that could have developed this are on instagram selling hair and bitcoin

Nigerian government o

This is your president in a queue abroad patiently
waiting for his turn to see the doctor for a check up around last year.

What the dullard has reduced himself to for refusing to build good hospitals in his country thereby going from one country to another like a common man smh

Which of the government?

Are we sure NCDC is doing the correct testing

May Allah help us!

Our Nigerian science professors are busy washing hands while the Western scientists are working hard in combating Covid-19, when the vaccine is finally out, the way those niggas while set their exam questions asking the innocent students to explain the reaction pathways, you will think they're part of the research team.

Okay ooo

Nice one
