The purpose of this research is to determine if the use of a new device can accurately detect a virus infection.
GRIP has developed a novel, graphene-based detection system for potential use in point-of-care settings. This study will compare the performance of the GRIP device to routine PCR testing for detection of COVID-19 and influenza viruses. When patients present for routine testing for COVID-19 and influenza, they will also have a separate nasal swab collected that will be tested by the GRIP point-of-care device.
