OmniVis is a US biotechnology company that specializes in rapid medical diagnostic tests.[1][2][3]
OmniVis's OmniTech rapid Cholera detection device can identify the presence of Vibrio cholerae in water in less than one hour (35 minutes on average in one study and 47 minutes in another), notably faster than previous technologies that take three days.[4][5] OmniTech uses a process of DNA amplification and viscosity measurement and costs approximately US$10 per test.[6]
The processing is done on an Android smartphone[6] that analyses water samples that are put into a single-use test kit element.[1]
The current design is not well suited for large-scale testing due to the small volume that can be tested.[1]
In May 2020, OmniVis was working on the early stages of a rapid test for COVID-19[7] that detects the disease in human saliva. The rapid test uses a smartphone for processing.[7] The project was supported by the United States Department of Agriculture.[8] From June 2020, OmniVis was also working on a United States National Science Foundation funded initiative to detect COVID-19 from nasal swabs.[9]
