Israel based Smart Biotech has developped a new blood sample treatment technique, SMARTube which enhances antibody production and allows to detect the HIV virus within 2-3 days of infection. This is a major advance in the fight against HIV since currenty tests can remain negative for weeks or even months in infected individuals. The SMARTube technique is also being developed for the early detection of Hepatitis C ( HCV).
