“Inexpensive and yet reliable” an article from business-on.de
Mandatory masks, lock-downs, test certificates – these seem far away for many in the summer months. But not for Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD). He recently warned: “We could have another omicron wave in autumn” and is thinking aloud about possible measures. Unlike last winter, PCR testing could be used much more frequently than […]
“Laboratory quality even without a cold chain” – from wallstreet-online.de
Laboratory quality even without a cold chain: Are inexpensive PCR tests the solution? However, in order to be able to use the more reliable PCR tests across the board, the cost factor should also play a role. The usual PCR laboratory tests usually require a complex cold chain to ensure the test quality. The electricity, space and […]
