Lab Based, High Volume SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Test
As the global spread of coronavirus infection increases, it is likely that a variety of diagnostic tools will be needed for direct clinical care via specialist laboratories, central hospital labs and in the community.
It is likely that millions and millions of people will need to be tested, and high throughput central molecular testing will no doubt play a central role. Genedrive will deliver clinically verified, consistent and reproducible assays that are easy to use and can be manufactured and delivered globally in high volume.
Key Design Features:
End-point hybridisation and melt curve analysis
More tolerant of emerging viral mutations than other PCR technologies
