A live laboratory setup in the Netherlands demonstrates that five robots could accurately process and track 100,000 SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests a day, relieving the burden on overloaded laboratory personnel and meeting national targets comfortably. An automated PCR test and tracking robot called STRIP-1, paired with a 2D barcode reader, has been up and running since early 2021 and is now successfully processing up to 20,000 samples a day.
Ziath reports how it has worked with the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) which has developed a pioneering automated test robot, called STRIP-1, which can process up to 20,000 samples for SARS-CoV-2 testing in just 24 hours.

This makes it much faster than all other automated SARS-CoV-2 testing systems used to date. In addition, all samples can be tracked precisely because they have a 2D-barcode on the bottom of each tube that is scanned multiple times throughout the process. This also enables an automatic online return of test results to the tested persons, which will relieve the burden on laboratory personnel who were severely overloaded during the first wave of COVID-19 in the spring of 2020.
