M-Rad designs mobile Covid-19 testing unit concept from "virus-destroying" copper

California-based design and architecture studio M-Rad proposes using the natural antimicrobial properties of copper alloy to create a travelling Covid-19 testing unit.
Designed to carry out both Covid-19 tests and antibody tests, M-Rad's concept for a portable testing unit features a body clad in copper alloy.
Chosen for its antimicrobial properties, the copper exterior would create a "virus-destroying environment", said the studio, by naturally killing up to 99.9 per cent of bacteria prese
