💡Simple at-home #TestTestTest for the #coronavirus, some that involve spitting into a small tube of solution, could be the key to expanding testing and impeding the spread of #COVID19. @US_FDA should encourage their development. nytimes.com/2020/07/03/opi…
đź’ˇInstead of running #TestTestTest for each person, laboratories could #PoolTest small groups of people and analyze them all at once (#PoolTesting). For the ones that come back positive, tests could be rerun with unused portions of the original samples.
đź’ˇWhat if there was a method of testing for #SARSCoV2 that could deliver more #TestTestTest in less time with more accurate results? Thanks to the experts at the National Institute for Biotechnology in the Negev @bengurionu, that method is already here!
#BuenaNoticia que estábamos esperando
Protocolo de #PoolTesting de @INSColombia para lugares con positividad ≤ 5%.
MetodologĂa evaluada y validada satisfactoriamente.
Permitirá a lugares con baja positividad expandir rápidamente su capacidad de testeo para #mantener control.

¿En qué consiste el #PoolTesting?
Cuando la prop. de positividad es baja, la mayorĂa de reactivos e infraestructura se gastan en pruebas negativas.
El #PoolTesting es una forma de optimizar recursos haciendo varias pruebas simultáneamente por #grupos (por ejemplo 5 muestras).

El #PoolTesting es una forma de optimizar recursos haciendo varias pruebas simultáneamente por #grupos (por ejemplo 5 muestras).
Si alguno de los grupos llega a salir #positivo, se procede entonces a hacer nuevamente la prueba de forma #individual a cada una de las muestras que conforman el #Pool o #Grupo
Dado que la mayorĂa serán negativas, por probabilidades se espera una expansiĂłn de la capacidad.
