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.
