Method 1- Nasopharyngeal Swab in transfer liquid
Method 2- Dipping of specialized swab in VTM
Method 3: Direct input of VTM
Method 4: Collection of nasal sample.
A nasopharyngeal swab will inoculate a proprietary solution which will be transferred to the Spartan COVID-19 System for analysis
A nasopharyngeal swab will inoculate VTM solution. A modified traditional Spartan Swab will be dipped into the inoculated VTM solution and then transferred to the Spartan COVID-19 System for analysis.
Using the VTM from Method 2, pipette 10uL of VTM, inoculated with sample, into the Spartan COVID-19 System for analysis.
Using a modified tip of the Spartan swab, a nasal sample will be taken from the patient and directly placed into the Spartan COVID-19 System for analysis.
