- Saliva Direct is an inexpensive new rapid diagnostic test for novel coronavirus infection that uses saliva samples.
- It was granted an emergency use authorisation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 15.
- The test has high sensitivity and can detect when the number of virus copies in the saliva sample is as low as six-12 copies per microlitre.
- The official data shows 88-94% which is the best accuracy (sensitivity) of any saliva test.
