Separately, San Francisco-based Carbon Health announced today that it is shipping COVID-19 home test kits to California patients who feel sick and whose providers recommend they stay at home.
“In line with our mission of using molecular technology to improve health worldwide, we are making up to 10,000 kits available at no cost to the scientific community.” “We are very glad that our technology, used to reduce suffering of cancer patients, can contribute to accurate testing solutions during this global crisis,” said Lucence CEO Dr. The sample can then be transported to a testing lab without the need for chilling, especially useful in countries where samples must be transported long distances for testing. It comes with a bottle of stabilization fluid to be mixed with the sample at the point of collection, keeping viral RNA stable at room temperature for up to one week, according to Lucence. Unlike other companies’ tests, Lucence’s SAFER-Sample (Stabilization of nucleic Acid Formulation for Evaluation of RNA) does not require samples from nose or throat swabs to be chilled for transport to a lab, according to the company. Singapore-based Lucence said it has developed a sample collection device for viral infections such as COVID-19.
