My old Alma
Mater doing good things for medical science.
It appears this process will increase the fast and easy testing of large numbers of people very quickly -- a key element in getting back to the 'new normal'.
I always
wondered what they did at the MicroBiology Labs up on the hill near the WW2
Quonset huts where we were making ceramic nose cones for rockets.

New Rutgers Saliva Test for Coronavirus Gets FDA Approval
Emergency
use authorization granted for new biomaterial collection approach (amazing long link):
-
“The Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted emergency use authorization
(EUA) to Rutgers’ RUCDR Infinite Biologics and its
collaborators for a new collection approach that utilizes saliva as the primary
test biomaterial for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the first such approval
granted by the federal agency.
The new
saliva collection method, which RUCDR developed in partnership with Spectrum
Solutions and Accurate Diagnostic Labs (ADL), will allow for broader population
screening than the current method of nose and throat swabs.”
