Robert Witkowski taps treated saliva samples for ease of pipetting the samples to the PCR plate for the actual testing. Once the virus has been killed in the pipetting lab, the samples are transferred to the PCR plate for testing. The PCR workstations are not vented since the virus is dead but are enclosed so no DNA contamination occurs.
