Unlocking the world through monitoring

by Niels Kruize, CCO, MolGen “Automation and industrialization of COVID-19 PCR-testing will facilitate an immense scale-up of the global PCR-testing capacity. It will allow for a new approach to keep society open: preventive, regular testing (twice per week), which will create green bubbles and get us ahead of the curve” – Niels Kruize, CCO, MolGen Why […]

Insight into serology testing

During the course of the current coronavirus pandemic we have all been aware of the urgent need for nucleic acid testing to identify people currently infected with SARS-CoV-2. The second test that is needed, the serology test, to identify who has had the virus, is much more complex to produce. Dr Andy Lane, commercial director […]
