How Boster Bio Can Help with COVID-19 Research
It is a true fact that the COVID-19 pandemic caught the world unawares. While in the past, there have been other outbreaks such as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in 2003 and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) in 2012, the SARS-CoV-2 a.k.a the COVID-19 is the one that has research facilities and biotech companies scrambling to make tests to detect it as well as work out an effective treatment measure.
The high infection rate, as well as the fact that no two patients suffer the same type of symptoms, have made it near impossible to correctly gauge and identify what works and what does not work. As a result, social distancing becomes a global necessity and one, which brought economies across the world to a halt. While shutting down borders was effective in preventing the widespread measures, testing kits are still found to be sorely lacking in this area.
Detecting COVID-19 Through Testing
What’s interesting to note is that the detection of COVID-19 is largely being done by checking the presence of antibodies in a person. These are produced when the immune system starts to battle a virus or an infection. With the help of the testing kits, at most the presence of these antibodies can be detected and identified.
In many scenarios, antibody testing is necessary because it can be used to detect the presence of the disease. However, there’s one major issue here in that, they’re not very effective in diagnosing active cases of COVID-19.
Nonetheless, these tests have been useful for detecting the presence of COVID-19 in individuals who have cleared the standard PCR test administered to them. Currently, given how quickly the COVID-19 virus is progressing, antibody tests are a viable option that can be used for the detection of COVID-19 in a person.
A Need for Antibody Testing
It’s also important to note that governments across the world are offering lax security measures to facilitate the making of such kits. Antibody tests have also played a major role in understanding the spread of the disease. This can play a vital role in understanding how the COVID-19 virus is being spread and how the curve can be further flattened.
They can also be used in scenarios where PCR tests have failed in order to detect any active contaminations in people. However, there’s no denying the fact that in order for this to happen, more research is definitely needed. Luckily, this is where Boster Bio is stepping in and helping.
How is Boster Bio Helping?
Despite the fact that there does not seem to be a possible cure for the COVID-19 available at the moment, research is still ongoing to learn as much as possible about causative agents behind the coronavirus. Unfortunately, there is a lack of high-quality testing kits, antibodies and other resources available to accomplish this.
Luckily, Boster Bio, a leader in the field of research for their specialized antibodies, reagents, recombinant proteins as well as their ELISA kits, is now stepping into the market. They’re offering specialized antibodies that are developed, especially to help research COVID-19.
This is done to help with the current research that is being conducted on the COVID-19 on a local and global level. Boster Bio has an expertise of more than 27 years in the field of research. During this time, they have continued to provide more than 20,000 research antibodies and over 2,000 ELISA kits.
They have a global distributor network, which includes more than 30 countries. By participating in the research for the COVID-19, Boster Bio can ensure that the researchers are able to continue their research to make an effective vaccination against the COVID-19.
While there’s still nothing clear or conclusive in this area, Boster Bio’s help and reputation for quality all ensure that various research challenges can be easily overcome.
