Study summary

Ycovid-19 aims to be a rapid diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 infection, which will allow a reliable diagnosis to be made in 10 minutes, and on easy-to-use devices. This test will be developed using innovative technology developed at the Parc Taulí University Hospital, which increases the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 differential antigens. The increased immunogenicity of these antigens will allow to detect, with a high sensitivity and specificity, the antibodies in the serum of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. This test will serve to confirm dubious results as well as reduce false negatives from the PCR test, which will ultimately help reduce transmission of the infection.
