SARS-CoV-2 testing: automation of high-throughput qPCR and COVID-seq
8 October 2020 | By SPT Labtech
In this on-demand webinar, we explored the various methods of COVID-19 testing: qPCR, COVID-seq, antigen and antibody detection, and others. Coupling these assays with low volume, high speed automation has made great strides toward achieving the high-throughput testing essential to ending this pandemic.
