Net rumor renders CCP virus infection into a musical score structure and seeks to decipher the picture
A research team from Japan’s RIKEN Institute and the University of Tokyo, among others, said in an article published in the British Journal of Science on the 19th that it has developed the world’s fastest new test that can accurately detect CCP virus infection in only about 5 minutes. The cost is said to be roughly the same as the PCR test currently used to confirm the diagnosis, and a large number of samples can be resolved in a short period of time.
Japan has developed the world’s fastest method for detecting the Chinese communist virus, Kyodo News reported today, adding that the test first mixes CRISPR with fluorescent molecules that glow after being cut and the patient’s test sample. It was found that if a CCP virus was present in the sample, the RNA would bind to CRISPR to form a complex. Since the complex has the effect of cutting off the fluorescent molecules, if it glows, it indicates the presence of the virus. In the actual test, the sample mixed with CRISPR, etc., was injected into a sheet lined with 100,000 tiny holes for each person. By counting the number of glowing holes with a microscope, the amount of virus can also be investigated.
According to an article published in the British Journal of Science on the 19th by a team of researchers from the RIKEN Institute of Japan and the University of Tokyo, a new test method has been developed that can accurately detect the infection of the CCP virus in only about 5 minutes, the fastest in the world. It is said that the cost is roughly the same as the PCR test currently used to confirm the diagnosis, and can resolve a large number of samples in a short period of time. Riken director researcher Rikuya Watanabe (biophysics) said, “It will be put into practical use in about 2 years in cooperation with private companies.”
According to the report, the team focused on the feature that the enzyme “CRISPR-Cas13a,” which is related to the bacterial immune system, is activated and cut off when it binds to RNA, the genetic material in coronaviruses.
