The SARS-CoV-2 virus, the causative agent for COVID-19 and the worst pandemic in modern history, was first identified in isolated cases in late 2019.
The genetic sequence of the virus was obtained in early 2020 and subsequently shared with research laboratories around the world.
The race to understand the molecular underpinnings of the virus and to develop effective treatments and vaccines was underway.
This Ebook from Molecular Devices charts the diagnostic and therapeutic timeline and highlights the instrument solutions critical to reaching these milestones
