Samples pooling – the future of SARS-CoV-2 testing

As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic progresses and the proportion of the world’s vaccinated population increases, sample pooling offers an attractive solution to reduce the cost of sample testing whilst maintaining high sensitivity. This paper demonstrates that our kit is a sensitive assay that can be used to detect SARS-CoV-2 positive samples with low viral loads in pooled samples.
