Pool Testing Asymptomatic Individuals is Accurate, Fast, and Cost-Effective in Preventing Spread of Coronavirus as 51% of Infected People Do Not Have Symptoms
PAOLI, Pa., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the United States reports its highest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths with an even bleaker holiday surge predicted, Fusion PPE and Anywhere Testing join forces to bring Pool Testing to schools and businesses. Saliva Swab PCR Pool Testing is a cost-effective solution that is helping organizations and communities to resume and maintain in-person activities.
“Pool Testing provides a new low-cost option for COVID-19 testing,” said Mark Rubino, Founder, and President, Fusion PPE. “Our clients representing schools, internationally-renowned travel companies, doctors’ offices, and independent business owners are extremely interested in Pool Tests so that they can remain open during this difficult time.”
Pool Testing works by taking saliva-swab samples which are sent to a laboratory. Five samples are combined (Pooled) and analyzed on a molecular PCR machine. If the Pool comes up negative, they are all reported as negative. If the Pool Test is positive, all the samples are analyzed individually. Inconclusive and positive tests are retested again with 99% accuracy. Results are available in 7 to 9 hours, and individual and retests are available in 20 to 26 hours.
