Project Details:
An efficient, cost-effective test system will be established to test a large number of people as quickly as possible
(> 1,000/day). In three process steps i) Samples are taken in mobile test centers
(Throat swab according to the standard of the Robert Koch Institute), ii) processed (RNA isolation) and iii) evaluated by means of PCR analysis according to the Charité Berlin1 protocol. Positive results from the screening will be
diagnostically confirmed by certified laboratories and reported to the local health department. The mobile stations
are built on the basis of flexibly set up shipping containers and both for taking swabs
as well as the purification set up. In this way, a strict separation between the removal and
the processing of potentially infectious material in the mobile container and the subsequent analysis of the
non-infectious RNA samples secured in separate laboratories.
