Thanks to this high sensitivity, the molecular test will also permit testing of pools of samples (pool strategy), multiplying the capacity of testing the population.
The TMA test is a complete and automated testing solution that includes all the reagents, from the preparation of the sample to getting a result. It is processed on Procleix® Panther® systems, each unit with an analysis capacity of more than 1,000 samples daily.
"Having sufficient molecular test capacity is critical to helping control this pandemic, and having a high-sensitivity test to handle a possible 'pooling' strategy is, without a doubt, a differentiating factor, which could make it feasible," said Victor Grifols Deu,
