The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus continues to affect our community and economy and poses a significant risk to our health. Epidemiologists and viral researchers face an unprecedented demand for faster PCR-based workflow to develop guidance for preventing the further spread of COVID-19 variants. To meet this demand, laboratories need an approach that overcomes the shortage of reagents, cuts the turnaround time and increases the frequency of analysis without compromising performance. It should also seamlessly integrate existing automation with standard lab equipment at all throughput needs.

In this webinar with Dr. Norbert Hochstein, you will discover:

• How a liquid prep-based QIAprep&amp procedure works

• The benefits of using the method

• How it performs compared to other solutions
