Scale your PCR diagnostic testing to high-throughput

An automated workflow to enable COVID-19 mass testing at population scale

Automation redefines lab efficiency and confidence in results

In this application note, we examine how high-throughput PCR result calling and analysis is enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. LGC, Biosearch Technologies’ SARS-CoV-2 Real-Time and End-Point RT-PCR Test coupled with UgenTec’s FastFinder software yield traceable and scalable data analytics and reporting, which is now authorized for emergency use.

Learn how this PCR-based testing platform introduces novel efficiencies such as:

  • Elimination of manual interactions to remove human error and manipulation.
  • Requiring human expert review only when warranted with exceptions.
  • Full traceability of samples across all plates and instruments to pull up its status at any given time.
  • Ready-to-deploy, pre-configured workflows enable fast deployment, minimize the time across installation, validation and go-live, incorporate data analysis and reporting features, and offer multiplexing capabilities.
