In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Peter Clausi speaks with Dr. Jon Gluckman, President, CEO and Founder of Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW | OTCQB: ATURF) about their recent news: First Polymer for Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Dr. Gluckman went on to say that Sixth Wave is working in collaboration with the University of Alberta to develop COVID-specific Imprinted Polymers that can detect viruses even after they have mutated. Sixth Wave is currently developing this technology specifically for the COVID-19 virus but can potentially be used to detect any virus. He highlighted that the technology is low-cost, easy to use, and scalable.

Speaking on the potential implementations of their technology Dr. Gluckman said that the technology can be used in handheld devices, wearables, and airborne detection tools. Sixth Wave is currently designing, Smart Mask™ that will use the Imprinted Polymers to detect the COVID-19 virus in the user’s breath.
