The science behind reliable COVID-19 testing
The Joint Research Centre developed reference materials to ensure that coronavirus tests do not produce a false negative result for someone who is infected with COVID-19.
The innovation aims to provide labs and companies producing COVID-19 tests with assurance that their equipment is working properly, eventually harmonising equipment across Europe. By collecting a large amount of epidemiological data and providing specific epidemiological circumstances, we assist governments in responding to the virus more effectively.
