A small device made by a Shanghai-based medical equipment producer could detect the Delta Variant of the coronavirus in 15 minutes.

XLEMENT, an incubatee of the Wuhan Institute of Optics and Electronics, shipped a batch of COVID-19  detectors to Morocco on Tuesday (Aug. 10), which can quickly and accurately identify the Delta variant within 15 minutes.

Reports pointed out that the specificity and sensitivity of the COVID-19 antigen detection kit are close to 100%, and can be used for rapid screening of asymptomatic patients infected with the coronavirus.

According to the person in charge of the company, the Delta Variant does not show significant changes in antigenic structure, so specific identification at the nucleic acid level is the key to differentiate the virus strain.
