The University of Liège (ULiège) has developed an automated test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19. The technique developed at ULiège allows to increase the daily capacity of detection of the coronavirus in Liège by 2000 tests. ULiège thus becomes one of the 5 reference centres for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Belgium. The technique could quickly be adopted by the 4 other reference centres (GSK, UCB, Janssen Pharmaceutica and KULeuven), as well as by other countries.
