The Jackson Laboratory to provide expanded Coronavirus testing for Maine hospitals
On Apr. 14, 2020, the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) in collaboration with several Maine regional hospitals, announced additional coronavirus testing capacity for frontline health care workers and in-patients in the state of Maine.
JAX’s Connecticut-licensed CLIA and CAP accredited laboratory in Farmington, Connecticut tests patient samples for a specific RNA signature unique to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. As the COVID-19 pandemic evolved, JAX adopted advanced technologies and new assay platforms making these available to its partnering hospitals and health care facilities.
