A Wrocław biotechnology firm has come up with the world’s first testing kit to check if you have coronavirus from a saliva sample.

Stock-listed Genomtec said that the new kit means that in addition to a greater comfort and convenience for patients, due to the lack of swabbing, saliva testing also reduces the chances of transmission of Covid-19 to medical personnel.

The kit, which uses RT-LAMP (Reverse Transcription Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification) technology and reduces the laboratory analysis time by 60 percent through special sample purification technology, delivers test results in a few minutes from the time the sample is received at a laboratory and includes all known variants of the virus.

Co-founder and President of the company, Miron Tokarski said: “Our new genetic tests from saliva will be able to increase the laboratories’ diagnostic throughput by several times, while providing comfort to the patient and medical staff.
