06Frequently asked questions

Why specifically was the RespiFinder® 2Smart kit chosen?
Following market research in 2021, this multiplex assay proved to be the most efficient method to test a broad panel of pathogens all at once. The kit saves reagents and labor time and is compatible with the existing equipment in the RIVM laboratory.
How was the suitability of the chosen kits determined?
In the period of September-October 2021, the RespiFinder® 2Smart kit was extensively tested in RIVM's own laboratory environment. This demonstrated that the kit meets the stated requirements for speed, cost, and efficiency.
What role does the Infectieradar play in this procurement?
The Infectieradar maps respiratory complaints in the population via digital questionnaires. For participants with complaints, samples are analyzed with the purchased kits to determine which respiratory viruses or bacteria are causing the complaints.
