GenoScreenTM SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Assay

SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Assay is designed for the detection of SARS-like coronaviruses in human respiratory specimens via real time PCR analysis. It is a triplex assay that detects two viral genes (ORF1ab and N) and an internal control.

What is it?

Accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2
 
This sensitive, highly specific kit works with various real time PCR machines to quickly detect SARS-CoV-2 in clinical specimens. 
 
It is a triplex assay that detects two viral genes (ORF1ab and N) and an internal control using specific primers and fluorescent dye-labeled oligonucleotide probes. These genes are amplified and detected in commonly used FAM, HEX/VIC and Cy5 fluorescent channels, respectively.
 
The cost-effective ready-to-use reagent produces results two hours after extraction.

Who is it for?

This assay is intended exclusively for in vitro diagnostic use with the appropriate clinical laboratory settings, safety standards and properly trained personnel.
 
It is for SARS-like coronaviruses RNA detection and has been validated using human respiratory samples (e.g. deep throat saliva) extracted by a CE IVD extraction system and designated PCR platform.

Why is it different?

The design is adapted from well established HKU-Pasteur protocol with further improvement, simplifying the master mix preparation step from two monoplex assays to a single triplex assay with the combination use of highly thermostable enzymes.  
 
The ready-to-use reagent is compatible with various real time PCR machines and delivers results 2 hours after extraction.

Advantages

Fast – Delivers results in approximately 2 hours, tests up to 96 samples simultaneously
Accurate – Reliable ready-to-use reagent
Cost effective – Lowest overall cost in market
Easy – No post-PCR manipulation required
