Clinical Laboratory Testing and Capability regarding the CORONAVIRUS Pandemic
Testing for coronavirus is being conducted in clinical laboratories by qualified medical scientists. There are now pop up centres for sampling patients to facilitate early collection and transport of these samples for urgent testing once they arrive at the clinical laboratory. Medical scientists initially at the National Virus Reference Laboratory developed and validated testing and were prepared for coronavirus testing before it arrived here. Subsequently, regional laboratories developed testing for their own regions, which is in place in many clinical laboratories at this time. In the case where additional qualified staff will be required by clinical laboratories there is now a panel of retired medical scientists willing to go back into their laboratories to work if required. Normal services are also being maintained by the clinical laboratories at this time.
Letter to: All Medical Scientists.

@ACSLM1 @paulreiddublin @SimonHarrisTD Why don't you specify the reagents you need? Would that help? An academic institute or specific company may have stock and may like to donate?
Thanks @fogartyc64. Days are melding one into another. Thanks for the links.
@ACSLM1 @paulreiddublin @SimonHarrisTD Appreciate the effort - still only Friday so bit early with that. Are their any labs that may have been overlooked? @Glanbia and other co ops may have some resources ? @ICOSDublin @teagasc
Well that happened and we'll get over it! @FergalBowers @GeorgeLeeRTE do you think it would be beneficial for the public to see what happens to the swab that is taken when identifying RNA from the SARS-Cov-2 virus? @ACSLM1 @MedLabAssoc maybe even some of the medical scientists?
Extraordinary commitment from #medicalscientists. Late on Saturday night still trying to source scarce reagents and consumables to ensure labs can ramp up testing for #COVID19. Nationwide efforts. Labs are the epicentre. @paulreiddublin @SimonHarrisTD
