Given the highly contagious nature of this virus, this is a long time to wait.

Key Points:

Given the highly contagious nature of this virus, this is a long time to wait.
Until these studies are completed and the FDA grants LexaGenes instrument EUA for COVID-19 testing, all work using LexaGene instruments is classified as Research Use Only and cannot be used for human clinical diagnostics.
End-users simply need to collect a sample, load it onto the instrument with a sample preparation cartridge, enter sample ID and press go.
The unique open-access feature is designed for custom testing so that end-users can load their own real-time PCR assays onto the instrument to target any genetic target of interest.
