Details
Denmark scaled up testing at a massive scale during the pandemic. Almost all the samples went through the test-center (TCDK) at SSI, which was in fact established during the pandemic. Consequently, automation of labflow, including implementation of robots and recording in databases has played a pivotal role in managing and monitoring all the processing steps and handling of the data. In this module, the participants will get an appreciation of how it was done in Denmark.
