The clinical trial will treat 200 severely infected COVID-19 patients. From many competitors, VelaLabs was selected to support the analysis of the patient samples of the study. In short time frames six samples will be taken from every patient and tested immediately at the VelaLabs facilities. This summer (2020), the evaluation is expected to be finalized at latest.The team of VelaLabs is proud to be a part of the world-wide fight against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
