To develop the new rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for HCV, the scientists used the DASH® (Diagnostic Analyzer for Specific Hybridization)PCR platform, which was originally developed at Northwestern University to detect COVID from samples collected with nasal swabs. The HCV test uses a whole blood specimen demonstrating the flexibility of the DASH platform.
