OmniVis is a US biotechnology company that specialises in rapid medical diagnostic tests.[1][2][3]
OmiVis's OmniTech rapid Cholera detection device can identify the presence of Vibrio cholerae in water in approximately 30 minutes.[1] OmniTech uses a process of DNA amplification and viscosity measurement and costs approximately US$10 per test.[4]
The processing is done on an Android smartphone[4] that analyses water samples that are put into a single-use test kit element.[1]
The current design is not well suited for large scale testing due to the small volume that can be tested.[1]
In May 2020, OmniVis was working on the early stages of a rapid test for COVID-19[5] that detects the disease in human saliva. The rapid tests uses a smartphone for processing.[5] The project was supported by the United Stated Department of Agriculture.[6] From June 2020, Omnivis was also working on a United States National Science Foundation funded initiative to detect COVID-19 from nasal swabs.[7]
