In the Zone: bioanalytical matrices – disruption and solutions

The COVID-19 pandemic has strained the biological matrix supply chain. An upsurge in demand driven by numerous COVID-19 therapeutic and vaccine development programs to combat the pandemic, along with logistical challenges sourcing and transporting matrix, has led to increased lead times for multiple matrices. However, there are several mitigation strategies to help alleviate the current strain on the matrix supply chain and help prepare for any future unexpected strains.
