Federal officials gave emergency approval this weekend to a coronavirus saliva test that Yale University researchers have used on NBA players and staff.
SalivaDirect doesn’t rely on proprietary technology, and Yale researchers don’t intend to commercialize it, the university said. The researchers will provide protocols to other diagnostic laboratories that can then use commercially available equipment to conduct the test, the department said.
Nathan Grubaugh, one of the researchers who developed the test, said he expects labs to charge roughly $10 per sample. “If cheap alternatives like SalivaDirect can be implemented across the country, we may finally get a handle on this pandemic, even before a vaccine,” Grubaugh said, according to the Yale news release.. The researchers partnered with the NBA because its players and on-court staff are regularly tested, they’re in close contact with each other and they don’t wear face coverings.
