UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, April 19 (TNSjou) -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news:
The first rapid test for mpox, more commonly known as monkeypox, has been developed by a team of researchers led by Penn State. The selective molecular sensor can detect the virus within minutes, without the use of any high-end instrumental techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Current tests require health care providers to swab lesions and send the samples to labs . . .
