As part of the pilot project SCoPE (SARS-CoV-2 PCR examination), the feasibility of screening for SARS-CoV-2 using PCR analysis is being tested at two Hamburg day care centers. Instead of the usual nasopharyngeal swab for sample collection, children suck on a swab for 30 seconds for each sample.
The pilot project SCoPE is a cooperation of the accredited diagnostic laboratory Labor Dr. Fenner & Kollegen and altona Diagnostics GmbH – two Hamburg-based companies with many years of experience in the field of infectious diagnostics.
