HALLE: Pharmacists at Germany’s University of Halle-Wittenberg have developed a way of detecting small amounts of the coronavirus in gargling solution, a technique which could be used for testing.
The study used samples of a solution that patients infected with the coronavirus had gargled with, successfully tracing the virus with a technique called mass spectrometry, the university said in a statement published on Wednesday.
The new method must be further refined before it can be used as a standard diagnostic tool to complement existing coronavirus tests, the statement said. (DPA)
