Soft Tooling-Friendly Inductive Mold Heating-A Novel Concept.

In order to economize injection molded prototypes, additive manufacturing of, e.g., curable plastics based tools, can be employed, which is known as soft tooling.

Evaluation of the automated LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS IgG assay for the detection of circulating antibodies.

Objectives: COVID-19 has brought about tests from many manufacturers. While molecular and rapid antigen tests are targeted for early diagnosis, immunoassays have a larger role in epidemiological studies, understanding longitudinal immunity, and in vaccine development and response.

Methods: The performance of the LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS IgG assay was evaluated against the Beckman ACCESS SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay in New Mexico, and against the Siemens ADVIA Centaur COV2G assay in New York.
