It all sounds impressive to me:

>In various laboratory tests with SARS-CoV-2, the Bosch test delivered results with an accuracy of over 95 percent.

I've read a lot of report on the current tests for SARS-CoV-2 having accuracy issues, does anyone know how 95% accuracy compares to the current methods?

> Up to 1,000 tests per day on just 100 devices So.. 10 tests per day per device? That doesn't sound THAT impressive.

"(...)the rapid test can detect a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection in patients in under two and a half hours" (...)With the tests currently in use, patients must usually wait one to two days for a result."

Well i see here a big improvement...
