UAE develops rapid Covid-19 laser testing technology

QuantLase Imaging Lab, the medical-research arm of the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange-listed International Holdings Company, IHC, announced that it has developed novel equipment which enables for much faster mass screenings, with test results available in seconds and allowing testing on a wider scale.. The technology will reinforce the UAE's position as a hub of research and innovation, as scientists around the world scramble to devise a faster method of testing for patients suspected to have been infected with the coronavirus and potentially identifying carriers before they become infectious.. The break-through will enable 'Mass-scale screening', changing the whole dimension of tracing and the speed with which workforces can be approached.. The government is keen on supporting initiatives that help the healthcare system in the UAE.. Health officials have been closely monitoring the progress of trials with QuantLase in order to test this equipment.. We are proud to see a technology that works and that will help to protect our people better.". "The equipment, which uses a CMOS detector, will enable mass-scale screening with results made available in seconds," said Dr Pramod Kumar, who leads the team of researchers at the lab which has been studying the change in cell structure of
