Finally is out, our super cheap, easy to produce in millions, almost universal, and with low waste impact nucleic acid detection (LAMP test for #COVID19) non-instrumental device. The answer is: a Nespresso capsule. The question is: why we did this? 1/n

In a pandemic of such dimension, the centralised testing is a problem. A decentralised testing solution would simplify the detection and containment of the virus. Testing millions of people per day is unfeasible in centralised testing, while doable using tests at home 2/n
For home testing you need a test which is simple to use and incredible sturdy. LAMP is perfect (better than PCR) and many groups are working on saliva rather than swab for simplifying the process. No one was working on the device to run the LAMP and that's where we started. 3/n
