A new test developed by scientists at the University of Aberdeen using AI-assisted technology has proven to be almost one hundred percent Accurate in detecting Covid antibodies. The Universal EpitoGen SARS-Cov-2-test passed the penultimate round of quality assurance assessments by the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) with a reported accuracy that would outperform existing Covid tests. In the NIBSC assessment, the Universal EpitoGen test detected antibody responses to infection by SARS-CoV-2 virus from patient samples with more than 99.5% accuracy and 98.5% specificity. Unlike the ‘traditional,’ currently used tests, that can become less accurate as new variants emerge, the innovative EpitoGen technology is just as effective in detecting an antibody response to new variants without losing accuracy. Therefore, the new tests can be used to estimate the prevalence of circulating variant strains in the community, including the OMICRON
New Covid test more than 99% accurate as seen on The Hippocratic Post.
