One alternative also required multiple patient swabs to be taken.\nCepheid UK LTD\u0027s offering was decided to be most suitable to reduce hands-on time allowing RSV, Covid/SARS and FLU A\u0026B to be tested with one sample loaded.\nThis testing also aligns with the current process used within our partner laboratory, who have been using Cepheid equipment for our previous years testing and will be providing ongoing servicing for internal and external quality assurance.",
