[sudo-discuss] Biohackers develop open source COVID-19 diagnostic kit

[Autonomous]

Biohackers at BioFoundry in Australia are making their own experimental
COVID-19 test kits, which purport to diagnose the disease in just 30
minutes, and which patients can potentially perform themselves.

The open-source (OS) community proposes ditching the expensive capital
> equipment in favor of a reaction that requires only a set of biological and
> chemical reagents in a single tube that gives a reliable diagnosis. We are
> currently sourcing the reagents to replicate the experiments being shared
> within the community. BioFoundry proposes setting up the facilities to
> synthesize the required biological reagents at scale, while collaborating
> with our sister company Argent Scientific to source the required chemicals.
> We would then focus on producing self-diagnosis kits to fill the diagnostic
> gap in Australia, before moving our focus to Africa and South-East Asia to
> help support their containment efforts as well.
