NSF | Contract Lab | USA | Since the onset of COVID-19, organizations around the world have been faced with challenges in workplace safety. Scientific understanding is constantly evolving, and each week brings a better understanding of: How to prevent transmission New health data around real-time community spread Successful efforts to contain the virus In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve established a new service for state governments: COVID-19 compliance assessment with educational outreach and consulting services. We visit and assess local businesses for compliance with COVID-19 guidelines and provide detailed guidance and recommendations to businesses that may fall short of the requirements. We often work with state governments, public health departments, and federal agencies to augment and expand their staffs while providing services and technical expertise aimed at protecting human health. https://www.nsf.org/knowledge-library/nsf-working-states-municipalities-address-surging-covid-19-cases |

USDA | Testing | USA | In January 2021, President Biden released the National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness (PDF, 24 MB). The plan calls on all parts of the federal government to contribute resources, facilities, personnel, and expertise to contain the pandemic. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responding to the President’s call to action. In addition to personnel, USDA is offering its facilities, cold chain infrastructure, public health experts, disaster response specialists, scientists and researchers, and footprint in rural areas and tribal communities across the country. With a presence in more than 140 countries around the world, USDA is working alongside federal partners to contain the outbreak and message about the importance of vaccinations for pandemic recovery. https://www.usda.gov/coronavirus |

VIDO/InterVac - Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization - International Vaccine Center | Vaccine | Canada | VIDO-InterVac on track to become ‘Canada’s center for pandemic research’ A major takeaway from the COVID-19 pandemic is that emerging diseases require rapid responses and Canada needs to be better prepared to respond to the next one, says University of Saskatchewan research center leader Dr. Volker Gerdts (DVM). do we have to wait until disease breaks out and then develop vaccines?” said Gerdts, director, and CEO of USask’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac). “Why cannot we predict what the next pathogen will look like so when disease breaks out, we have vaccines available? It sounds naïve and really dreaming but that’s where the field is going, and VIDO-InterVac will be part of this.” The idea of having adaptable vaccine platform technologies is part of Gerdts’ vision for VIDO-InterVac as “Canada’s center for pandemic research.” VIDO-InterVac is already a global leader in efforts to combat COVID-19 and the first in Canada to isolate the virus, develop an animal model, and get a vaccine into animal testing. https://www.vido.org/covid19/updates/ |

LabWareは、世界中の公的および民間部門の組織と積極的に協力して、COVID-19テスト機能やその他のワークフローおよび運用効率の強化を実装するための豊富なノウハウと高度なテクノロジーを適用して、前例のない公衆衛生テストの要求を満たすためのラボテスト能力を向上させています。
私たちの取り組みには、英国でのNHS COVID-19検査業務の拡大を支援することが含まれます。また、ブラジルのサンパウロにある新しいCOVID-19研究所に検査管理ソフトウェアを提供しています。さらに米国の公衆衛生の顧客がCDCに報告するための新しいCOVID-19テストと通信プロトコルを実装することを支援しています。サハラ以南のアフリカの公衆衛生の顧客ベース全体にCOVID-19テスト機能を追加/拡張し、COVID-19テストの急増に対処するためのパフォーマンスの向上でカナダの公衆衛生の顧客を支援しています。
私たちは、LabWareのモバイル技術を活用して、フィールドベースの検体収集およびCOVID-19検査操作の一部としてCOVID-19患者登録およびサンプル収集プロセスを合理化するソリューションを開発しています。これらのソリューションは、州の公衆衛生研究所の顧客に導入されています。
フロリダ州とデラウェア州: LabWareは、モバイルホットスポットに関連付けられたタブレットデバイスを使用し、アプリを実行してLIMSを実行しているクラウドベースのHIPAA準拠サーバーと通信するシステムを導入することで、この問題の解決に着手しました。 このシステムでは、患者の検査場所への訪問をスケジュールし、患者の人口統計情報と多くのトリアージ質問への回答を取得できます。 現場では、検体サンプルを採取する際に、患者の名前と生年月日だけでなく、バーコード付きのラベルを印刷します。
この情報は、サンプルと患者を識別するためにDOH(Department of Health)ラボによって使用されます。収集しているすべてのデータは数分でDOHシステムに送信されるため、サンプルがラボに到着すると、スキャンされてテストの準備が整います。私たちは当初、4月初旬にフロリダでこのシステムを試験運用しました。計画は、ライブで使用できるようにシステムを強化するために必要なギャップに関する情報を収集することでした。
驚いたことに、私たちが行ったことはDOHのニーズを満たしていました。私たちはフロリダを出発する予定でしたが、彼らはすぐにシステムを稼働させたいと言っていました。 それで、私たちはフロリダに滞在し、彼らのシステムは翌週には稼働しました。フロリダDOHは現在、すべての郡に展開するのに十分な303キットの購入を約束しています。
最近では、デラウェア州でポータブル疾病監視ラボキットの展開を開始しました。キットは、州内のホットスポットを監視するために使用されます。
Open Orphan plcの一部であるhVIVOは、ワクチン有効性の理解を深めるためのヒトチャレンジ研究を開発することにより、COVID-19との世界的な戦いのパイオニアになりました。 hVIVOは、LabWare LIMSの使用を拡大して、これらの研究のサンプルスループットをスケールアップしています。
