Objective
Establish a regional, high-throughput, low-cost, quick-response COVID-19 virus test processing laboratory to keep the economy open.
Outcome
Increased testing capacity enables Kansas to live with the virus and minimize, and hopefully avoid, school, childcare, business, and service closures.
Testing Capacity
The Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory at WSU has the capability to analyze 1,500 tests per 8-hour shift (totaling 4,500 per day). The maximum analyzing capacity for 3 shifts, 7 days a week, is 31,500 tests.
