EasyCOV: Covid-19 salivary rapid and easy molecular test
Sensitivity: 86% – Specificity: 99% (validated by a clinical study)
EasyCOV: Covid-19 salivary rapid and easy molecular test
Sensitivity: 86% – Specificity: 99% (validated by a clinical study)
SkillCell and Sys2Diag/CNRS leveraged their technological expertise and deployed exceptional resources to develop EasyCOV, a particularly relevant test in the fight against Covid-19 outbreak:
- Detection of the virus in saliva, a major vector in the spread of this virus à recommended as relevant for SARS-CoV2 diagnosis
- Easy to use – No lab required
- Results within 40 minutes
- Easy to interpret: color change
EasyCOV is particularly adapted to support efficient reopening strategies.
EasyCOV performance validation study was performed at Montpellier public teaching hospital, France.
Engaged to fight Covid-19 outbreak
In the current context of the global Covid-19 pandemic, SkillCell and Sys2Diag/CNRS transformed their rapid diagnostic tests expertise and know-how to develop EasyCOV, a rapid and easy to use molecular saliva-based screening test for Covid-19. Furthermore, as shown in several top-notch scientific studies, saliva allows an efficient detection of the virus in addition of a non-invasive and secured sample collection.
EasyCOV has been clinically validated. It confirmed a highly satisfactory performance in terms of specificity and sensitivity.
EasyCOV test is easy to use, requires no lab and provides rapid results:
- Collect the saliva sample with the provided device
- Place the sample collection in the first small tube containing specific chemical reagents – place it at 80°C – 10 min
- Transfer a small volume of the first tube to the second one with the provided device and place it at 65°C – 30 min
- Add the final provided solution with the appropriate device
- Read the colorimetric output:
- Yellow: the test is positive for Covid-19
- Orange: the test is negative for Covid-19
The test is completed within 40 minutes.
