Faster Virus Test Uses Holographic and AI Techniques

With new CoVid subvariants and other viruses appearing each month, we need faster assays for identifying and quantitating viruses. UCLA laboratory scientists have answered that call by developing a novel viral assay using advanced optics and machine learning. Rather than employing the time-consuming staining of samples and manual counting of viral placques, this assay employs advanced time-lapse holographic imaging and artificial intelligence-powered counting techniques. This new system reliably analyses samples in less than half the time with enhanced precision. Look for commercial applications of these techniques soon.
