RPL clubs receive mini-laboratories for rapid coronavirus diagnosis

Zenit St. Petersburg, Akhmat Grozny, Dynamo, and FC Tambov have signed a cooperation agreement with the Russian-Japanese company Evotek-Mirai Genomics.

In the near future, club specialists will be trained to use portable laboratories designed for rapid testing of players and team employees. This technology will significantly reduce the time to detect cases of infection and increase the security of matches in the Russian Premier Liga.

The rapid testing mini-laboratories which the clubs have received were created with the participation of the Russian direct investment fund. They use a unique technology for rapid genetic diagnosis of the coronavirus infection using SmartAmp isothermal molecular diagnostics.
