We have been made aware by some of our members that the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has sent out an urgent request for reagents, specifically RNA extraction reagents for COVID19 testing. If you have such reagents in your laboratory that you could donate (view list below) please consider doing so. If the laboratories have materials that we could use and are not included in the list, feel free to let us know and we will share with the National Microbiology Laboratory and asses their current requirements.
The contact person at the PHAC is Rita Finley (rita.finley@canada.ca). As this is a time-sensitive request please let her know directly what you have available.
As for shipping and addresses, the PHAC informed us that they are collating first what is available and then will provide further information on where and how to ship the materials, as some of these might be directed to the provincial public health laboratories.
