Pooled Sample Testing
It was said that one way for laboratories to test more people for the viruses is by combining samples from several people into one sample and testing them together, also called pooling. Pooling are potentially one of the most helpful in areas where most samples are expected to be negative. This saves time and test materials when only a very small number of positives are expected, allowing labs to test more samples.

Accordingly, if the test is negative, or doesn’t detect virus, then none of the people whose samples were included in the pooled sample are likely to have an active virus infection. Also, if the test is positive, showing the presence of the virus, everyone is retested separately, either by taking a new sample or testing a remaining portion of the original sample, to find the samples that are positive.

All of them run the PCR reaction as a closed tube and measure product accumulation in real time during the course of PCR amplification.
PCR is a technique used in the lab to make millions of copies of a particular section of DNA. It was first developed in the 1980s.
It was mentioned that the more testing done, the clearer the picture of who is infected and thus who needs to be isolated becomes.
Accordingly, PCR Technology is used in medical and biological research labs for various applications.
Accordingly, Molecular and antigen tests are types of diagnostic tests than could detect if you have an active virus infection.
