Cholera detection

[edit]

OmnniVis's rapid Cholera detection device can identify the presence of Vibrio cholerae in water in less than one hour.[4] The device uses a process of DNA amplification and viscosity measurement.[5]

The processing is done via a smartphone enabled platform that analyzes water samples inserted into a single-use test kit element.[1] In May 2019, OmniVis teamed up with the International Cetre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh to beta test the technology.[1]

COVID-19 detection

[edit]

In May 2020, OmniVis was working on the early stages of a rapid test for COVID-19[6] that detects the disease in human saliva. The rapid tests uses a smartphone for processing.[6] The project was supported by the United States Department of Agriculture.[7] From June 2020, OmniVis was also working on a United States National Science Foundation funded initiative to detect COVID-19 from nasal swabs.[8]
