HiberGene CEO, David Corr remarked “Consistent with HiberGene’s mission to challenge long-turnaround times for patient testing, the PCR Adapt COVID-19 test is a high throughput solution for use on a wide range of laboratory PCR instruments. This will benefit labs, enabling them to reduce costs in time and materials, and more importantly, this should translate into a faster time to result for patients who can wait up to forty-eight hours for results.”PCR Adapt Covid-19 has undergone several independent evaluations, is CE Marked and available for commercial use.
