> LabCentral — a biotech co-working facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that was part of E25Bio's testing study — requires participating startups to test workers twice a week. That's a costly safety measure for a nonprofit, said Celina Chang, LabCentral's vice president, so it recently bought rapid tests from Germany for $1.50 each.
"In order to test people twice a week on a regular basis for months on end," she said, "we need it to be, just the same as anyone, affordable."
