New state-of-the-art testing facility near Changi Airport to boost Singapore's pandemic response
Singapore's air border can now test twice as many human swab samples as during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Home Team Science and Technology Agency's new advanced Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) lab at the Changi Airfreight Centre has been designed as the first line of clinical testing support for future outbreaks. Much of the workflow is digital and automated, cutting processing time by about a third. Noah Kong reports.
