Abstract

SmartAmp, a method developed by RIKEN, can provide a major time-saving compared to PCR, reducing the time for test results from 1 or 2 hours to just 10 to 30 minutes. The effectiveness of the method has been validated through research conducted along with the Kanagawa Prefectural Institute of Public Health. Work is ongoing to further reduce the amount of time required.
