However, because antibody-based tests aren&#8217;t very sensitive, they can fail to detect early infections with low viral loads. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have developed a rapid test that uses molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles, rather than antibodies, to detect SARS-CoV-2. The new test is more sensitive and works under more extreme conditions than antibody-based tests.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-04-nanoparticles-enable-sensitive-durable-rapid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nanoparticles could enable a more sensitive and durable rapid COVID-19 test<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rapid antigen tests can quickly and conveniently tell a person that they are positive for COVID-19.
