Test

Each of the samples collected at one of the COVID test sites on the three campuses have an individual bar code. The samples are brought to the Veterinary Diagnostic Center where each sample is scanned. Each sample placed in the tray stays consistent throughout the process.

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.
