Tackling the Challenges of Limited Resources During a Pandemic

The Pharma Data

As laboratories around the world tackle the challenges of screening large numbers of samples for SARS-CoV-2, the managers of these labs have turned to the use of automation to address some key concerns. As there are fewer steps carried out by hand this reduces potential exposure for laboratory staff as well. In the examples below, we.
