Published purpose

Spartan Bioscience (Spartan) proposes development of a SARS-CoV-2 assay to operate on its Cube sample-to-result real-time PCR testing platform. The proposed assay will have a simple workflow requiring no sample preparation after sample collection. The portable size of the Cube, along with the simplicity of the proposed workflow allows the solution to be deployed and implemented into airports, border crossings, and critical national infrastructure with ease.
