Saliva Tests Start to Catch On

Saliva Tests Start to Catch On   Many people were wary of the unpleasant procedure, called a nasopharyngeal swab. It can be performed only by trained health workers, putting them at risk of infection and adding costs. And the swabs and chemicals needed to test for the virus almost immediately were in short supply.   Meanwhile, researchers began investigating other cheaper, simpler alternatives to the tried-and-true approach — including dribbling saliva into a test tube.  But the transition has not been immediate.  Regulators and scientists are generally cautious about new, unproven technologies and have an understandable bias toward well-established protocols.  “Saliva is not a traditional diagnostic fluid,” said Yale microbiologist Anne Wyllie, part of a team whose saliva-based test, called SalivaDirect, received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration in August. “When we were hit by a virus that came out of nowhere, we had to respond with the tools that were available.”   LINK:   https://cutt.ly/UgzzRVl LET'S GO!
