With new CoVid subvariants and other viruses appearing each month, we need faster assays for identifying and quantitating viruses.   UCLA laboratory scientists have answered that call by developing a novel viral assay using advanced optics and machine learning.  Rather than employing the time-consuming staining of samples and manual counting of viral placques, this assay employs advanced time-lapse holographic imaging and artificial intelligence-powered counting techniques.  This new system reliably analyses samples in less than half the time with enhanced precision.  Look for commercial applications of these techniques soon.
