Project Summary/Abstract Testing high volumes of clinical specimens for infectious diseases requires the use of efficient testing approaches. One approach used by laboratories is a procedure known as group testing (also known as pooled testing). In its most basic application, portions of specimens from different people are combined together into “groups” so that each corresponding individual is represented within one group.
