AptameX is the Company’s proprietary saliva-based Covid-19 test utilising DNA aptamers bound to gold nanoparticles in a colloidal solution.  The result is read by a UV Spectrophotometer and then analysed with custom software.  Unlike a molecular and immunoassay approaches, the test’s use of DNA aptamers has yielded encouraging results at low viral loads outperforming most lateral flow based rapid tests.
