CoVerifiedPool + Mirimus
A Pooled COVID-19 Testing Solution Built for K-12 and Early Education
Why Mirimus pooled testing?
Saliva-based pooled testing occurs when up to 24 individual saliva samples are combined in the testing lab, rather than at a collection site, and processed as a single test. The technique offers tremendous resource efficiencies, as well as significant cost savings compared with traditional testing strategies, and is less invasive than swab testing, which may be critical for student populations. Importantly, these cost, process and comfort improvements do not come at the expense of test accuracy.
Affordable Pooled Testing with Mirimus
Since its founding 10 years ago, Mirimus, Inc. has established itself as a leader in conducting high-volume, complex and highly effective PCR testing. This unique skillset led Mirimus to develop SalivaClear, a COVID-19 testing platform that combines saliva-based sampling, pooled testing and PCR diagnostics to improve the scalability, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and accuracy of COVID-19 testing.
A Platform Built for Educators
The CoVerified Pool strategy was developed with Mirimus over several months of intensive iteration and input from dozens of school administrators, physicians and public health experts to create a scalable solution with three key benefits: at-home collection, saliva samples rather than swabs, and automatic re-testing without specimen recollection. Research and extensive interviews have indicated that widespread testing of minors will continue to be challenging without these crucial innovations.
Founded at MIT and Harvard, CoVerified is a HIPAA-compliant enterprise software services provider headquartered in Boston, MA. More than 140,000 users currently test routinely using CoVerified software tools, which have facilitated well over one million COVID-19 tests and collected nearly three million symptom reports. CoVerified enjoys a formal partnership with the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, as well as the financial backing of Y Combinator, the technology engine behind companies including AirBnB, Dropbox and DoorDash.
