LONDON, Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Rosti Group has partnered with a Global Molecular Diagnostics company to begin manufacture of a COVID-19 saliva test, providing laboratory-quality results in 15 minutes. This will allow non-medical personnel to obtain fast, on-site detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at point of need.

The deployment of 3D printing of prototype injection moulding tools allowed engineers to have prototypes within 72 hours of receiving data in production intent material. Additionally, the tooling solution incorporates cutting edge technology delivering 32 cavity tools in 5 weeks and serial manufacturing under ISO13485 conditions.

This is a critical project which is part of the Rosti contribution to the fight against the impact of COVID-19, by providing their solutions to a Global Molecular Diagnostics company.
