EasyCOV®: Covid-19 salivary rapid and easy molecular test

The first CE-marked saliva test for Covid-19. Clinically validated, Sensitivity: 86% – Specificity: 99%.

SkillCell and Sys2Diag/CNRS leveraged their technological expertise and deployed exceptional resources to develop EasyCOV, a particularly relevant test in the fight against Covid-19 outbreak:

  • Detection of the virus in saliva, a major vector in the spread of this virus à recommended as relevant for SARS-CoV2 diagnosis
  • Easy to use – No lab required
  • Results within 40 minutes
  • Easy to interpret: color change

EasyCOV is particularly adapted to support efficient reopening strategies.

EasyCOV performance validation study(1) was performed at Montpellier public teaching hospital, France.

EasyCOV is CE-Marked for Point Of Care use (Healthcare professionals only)

Engaged to fight Covid-19 outbreak

In the current context of the global Covid-19 pandemic, SkillCell and Sys2Diag/CNRS transformed their rapid diagnostic tests expertise and know-how to develop EasyCOV, a rapid and easy to use molecular saliva-based screening test for Covid-19. Furthermore, as shown in several top-notch scientific studies, saliva allows an efficient detection of the virus in addition of a non-invasive and secured sample collection.

EasyCOV has been clinically validated. It confirmed a highly satisfactory performance in terms of specificity and sensitivity.

EasyCOV test is easy to use, requires no lab and provides rapid results:

  • Collect the saliva sample with the provided device
  • Place the sample collection in the first small tube containing specific chemical reagents – place it at 80°C – 10 min
  • Transfer a small volume of the first tube to the second one with the provided device and place it at 65°C – 30 min
  • Add the final provided solution with the appropriate device
  • Read the colorimetric output:
    • Yellow: the test is positive for Covid-19
    • Orange: the test is negative for Covid-19

The test is completed within 40 minutes.
