Development, validation, scale-up, and distribution of diagnostic tests is a key element in managing an emerging infectious disease outbreak.

The Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (ADDL) at Purdue University worked with Orchard to implement COVID-19 testing for human patients. Orchard Molecular helped the laboratory achieve quick turnaround times, with results available to the caregiver within 24 hours of collection.

Rapid POCT is being used to help address the COVID-19 testing backlog and speed turnaround times. Although the lesser sensitivity and specificity of POCT is acknowledged as an issue, its rapid turnaround time is a worthwhile trade-off in patient scenarios where speed is of the essence. Laboratory professionals are instrumental in ensuring the proper implementation and performance of POCT.
