We have heard and seen many requests from medical research centers, biopharmaceutical companies, testing developers and testing sites requesting supplies such as:
- Viral RNA kits
- Pure compact RNA
- Compact nucleic acid isolation kits
- Automated nucleic acid extraction systems
- Tips for instrument pipetting
- PCR testing capabilities
- N95 masks
- N100, P100 & R100 masks/respirators
- N99, P99 & R99 masks/respirators
- Nitrile gloves (general purpose and exam)
- Gowns – patient isolation and disposable
- Swab kit supplies – 1 ml vials, viral transfer medium, swabs, tubes
- Hand sanitizer
We have created the
Coronavirus Hub to enable you to post requests as well as announce availability. If you have these products, please share that information with us through this hub.
Beyond physical supplies, the Hub will provide users the ability to request or share other resources, such as capacities, technologies, or assets that may be useful in COVID-19 response and/or development programs. A messaging feature permits users to reach out to one another, privately within the hub. A notification is sent when a reply is posted. To expedite the launch of this timely tool, the hub has an easy self-serve login providing instant utilization.
As a community, we have the responsibility to rise to this global call for action. As I have said, “The coronavirus is no match for science, but we must finish the job.”
We will continue to improve this new resource center. If you have any questions, recommendations or technical issues, please contact:
[email protected].
