Deploying exceptional resources combined with technological expertise, ALCEN and its collaborators contribute to the fight against Covid-19.

SKILLCELL and SYS2DIAG are developing EasyCOV, a fast-acting saliva-based screening test for Covid-19, with support from the PMB and TRONICO teams. SYS2DIAG is a CNRS/ALCEDIAG joint laboratory. The EasyCOV test is easy to administer and results are given within 30 minutes of collecting the saliva sample. Test results are read through colorimetric analysis. A clinical trial is under way to confirm the already observed performance standards of EasyCOV.

TRONICO, in partnership with the collective « MAKERS FOR LIFE » from the French city of Nantes, is currently active in the development and production of MakAir, a ventilator exclusively dedicated to the treatment of Covid-19.
