A quick update from me. <br/><br/>My sex screen assay is progressing well. <br/><br/>I promised rapid: I can detect SRY from a cheek swab in about 30 minutes. I am currently testing whether I can drop it to 10 minutes without compromising reliability. <br/><br/>I promised cheap: The current cost per assay is about £2. I am currently testing whether I can drop this to below the pound line, and it’s very promising. <br/><br/>I promised accessible: The assay could be run by any grassroots sports coach, school nurse, and my Mum. <br/><br/>I promised on-site: This is where my lab efforts are currently focussed. I’ve always held “from the UK to Uganda” as a principle, and ensuring easy deployment is crucial. I’m currently learning a lot of materials science…<br/><br/>The other main push is setting up various blinded, larger-scale tests. This will require lots of form filling. <br/><br/>If anyone wants to help me hit my final budget target, my crowdfunder is here.<br/><a href="https://bird.makeup/users/fondofbeetles/statuses/2003168780550119566">https://bird.makeup/users/fondofbeetles/statuses/2003168780550119566</a><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note1922kl9794tywazq3pnm7yg8wlhj9at6klfrgpeek4m2jml3w74asmc7kx9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note1922…7kx9</a></span><br/> </div> Every girl deserves a fair chance in sports.
