New patent in record time

Because of our incredible team of biomedical researchers at the University of Miami, we were able to patent the Rapid Point-of-Care Covid-19 test and the inventors.  It was allowed by the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) in a record time of less than 2 months. 

 S. Daunert, S. Deo, J.M. Zingg, “Materials and Methods for Detecting Coronavirus”. Allowed on May 13, 2020.
