COVID-19 drug development is the research process to develop a therapeutic prescription drug that would alleviate the severity of 2019-20 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Internationally as of March 2020, some 100 firms, university research groups, and health organizations were involved in stages of vaccine or drug development. The World Health Organization (WHO), European Medicines Agency (EMA), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Chinese…

Lack of materials needed to conduct tests gave labs a slow start Testing the right person is a crucial aspect in any pandemic. Apart from saving lives, widespread testing can provide important data required to model the course of the outbreak. Reagents are a critical component of testing. Unfortunately, many…
An Anti-body Test vs. Antigen Test vs. the Lateral Assay Test Tests for Covid-19 can be divided into polymerise chain reaction (PCR), serologic tests and soon lateral Assay tests. These tests use different kinds of samples to search for different hallmarks of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. PCR (polymerise chain reaction). We…
Coronavirus tests require complex and pure reagents, such as enzymes, probes, and primers, which have been harder to come by during the COVID-19 pandemic.
