Aldatu Biosciences in Watertown, has developed a rapid test for COVID-19 detection called PANDAA qDx™ SARS-CoV-2 being used in Boston.

Back in March 2020 despite national supply constraints, one of the major Boston hospitals now has the ability to do rapid in-house testing and they are conducting the highest volume of on-site hospital testing in New England, thanks to Boston-based startup, Aldatu Biosciences. Less than three weeks ago, the Aldatu team set to work on developing a test for COVID-19 detection. On Tuesday (March 17th), a Boston hospital with zero prior capacity to test for COVID-19 was using Aldatu’s test to process its first 200 patient samples, with plans to increase to nearly 800 tests per day by week’s end.
