Dear all,
One of my team attended a training session yesterday. I had already assessed as non-POCT, but wanted to check.
Limitations;
Need safety cabinet
A number of steps requiring fine pipetting of 12uL or 8uL
Requirement for heat and cool blocks
Batch running - not very POCT suitable
High risk of contamination from a very strong positive control used on each run.
These devices I suspect will be a challenge for a number of laboratories, let alone a POCT service.
Kind regards
Katy

Hi All,
Can I ask if any POCT Coordinator/Team has been put in charge of the Primer Design COVID testing q16/q32 devices?
They definitely aren't POCT devices in my mind.
Thanks,
Theresa
