SHARP and EMC provide support in laboratory diagnostics for COVID-19

SHARP wants to support its partners and EU Member States in laboratory diagnostics for COVID-19. Our SHARP partner, Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands, has kindly offered their help by providing real-time RT-PCR for detection. If you have suspected cases of COVID-19 and need support for the detection, you may send your samples to the EMC. SHARP will cover the costs for shipment of the samples if needed.

For sample types, shipment and more information:
Please contact Marion Koopmans (m.koopmans[a]erasmusmc.nl) or
Richard Molenkamp
(r.molenkamp[a]erasmusmc.nl) directly.

If you wish to get compensation for costs of shipment of the samples,
please contact SHARP coordinator, Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, THL at sharp[a]thl.fi.
