Eurofins: growing demand for Covid tests in education
(CercleFinance.com) - Eurofins announced on Wednesday that it is seeing increasing demand for Covid-19 testing in schools, with the group aiming to establish low-cost testing programs for the education sector.
The French bioanalytical group explains that it is working with schools and educational authorities to provide simple, reliable and high quality Covid tests.
In this situation, Eurofins highlights the effectiveness of "cluster" testing, which relies on the reference PCR test, while significantly reducing the cost of programs by simultaneously testing a group, or "pool" of samples to detect the presence of the virus.
Such cluster testing programs can also be applied in other settings, such as health care facilities and workplaces, it adds.
