Will the Japanese mask that glows in the presence of SARS-COV-2 be approved for sale by the end of June 2022?
Market Rules
Researchers at Kyoto Prefectural University (Japan) are developing a mask that, in addition to protecting against infections, glows when it detects the presence of SARS-CoV-2. The mask has a layer with an antibody extracted from an ostrich, which emits fluorescence when it binds with the virus.
The mechanism was developed so that the viruses present in the mask user's saliva and nasal cavity are captured by the antibody in the filter, which shines under light emitted by cell phones. The idea now is for the mask to be approved for sale.
If the mask developed by the Kyoto Prefectural University (Japan) to glow when coming into contact with SARS-COV-2 is approved for sale by the end of June 2022, this market will resolve to “Yes”.
This market will be resolved based on news (with verifiable sources) and scientific studies on the subject from sources or publications that Futuur finds credible and reputable, such as, but not restricted to, World Health Organization, Nature Magazine, Science, and other specialized scientific journals.
