This type of testing is crucial for preventing a pandemic like COVID-19. Convenient methods of diagnosis would allow healthcare professionals to have quick and accurate test results to take actions, such as issuing quarantines to certain people or mandatory masking. There are several issues with the current methods of testing: the results either take several hours to come out, or they are not accurate enough to qualify to be POCT. One way to resolve PCR's inability to produce quick results and the necessity of a laboratory is by allowing a portable microfluidic-based cartridges or chips to amplify and detect the virus -this would allow for easier point-of-care testing outside of a laboratory . To improve the antigen lateral flow assay test, its sensitivity must increase to allow more accurate results.
