BioneXt LAB Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Information

The PCR screening performed on a nasopharyngeal swab allows the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 to be diagnosed reliably. This test is performed on prescription and is paid for by the CNS.

The serological test is used to detect the presence in the blood of antibodies produced by the immune system following an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). In certain situations, it can help diagnose an acute infection. It is also used to detect a previous infection.

The purpose of CON-VINCE, the COvid-19 National survey for assessing VIral spread by Non-affected CarriErs conducted by the LIH (Luxembourg Institute of Health – www.lih.lu) in cooperation with the University of Luxembourg (www.uni.lu), the LCSB (Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine-www.lcsb.lu) and the IBBL (Integrated Biobank of Luxembourg – www.ibbl.lu)  is to understand the prevalence of the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV2) infection in the Luxembourgish population so as to assess:

• the psychological impact of the lockdown, and 
• the spread of the virus and the immune status (presence of antibodies) of citizens 

so as to define an exit strategy and a gradual lifting of the lockdown. 

As a partner in this study, the BioneXt LAB makes it human and technical resources available to test the participants who have been selected at the national level by the TNS-ILRES  institute (www.tns-ilres.com) and to conduct analyses.
