SARS-CoV-2 Pooling (COVID-19) is a rapid real time PCR test cartridge, providing clear and concise results in a timely manner, direct at the point of care. This enables the patient to take the recommended safety precautions without delay. The pooling could be done at the level of a ward, medical speciality, social bubble, or group of colleagues. It has potential for use in other settings, such as pre-operative screening, schools and universities, prisons, nursing homes, primary care, and large workplaces. Sample pooling allows more people to be tested quickly using fewer testing resources. In collaboration with Bosch, we are proud to release not only a rapid testing solution for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) but an accelerated mass testing solution to effectively and efficiently monitor and detect viral infection from the offset with an aim of minimising the rise in infections globally. The new SARS-CoV-2 pooling test will allow users to test up to 160 samples a day and has sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 100% – a world’s first!* Highly sensitive assays allow for laboratories to accurately detect low positive samples, enabling for effective identification of positive COVID-19 cases in a timely manner. Key Benefits: - Detection from real-time PCR via Nasopharyngeal and/or Oropharyngeal swab - Rapid turnaround from sample entry to result, capable of testing up to 160 samples a day - Up to 5 patient samples may be pooled and added to a single cartridge targeting the E gene sequence - Simple and easy to use POC analyser with a small footprint making it suitable for use in laboratory and non-laboratory settings
