Currently, the major global concern is to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection and to find rapid solutions to track the key SARS-CoV-2 variants in circulation worldwide. While sequencing-based technologies are commonly used, they are highly complex, expensive and have a long turnaround time.
The Agiomix SARS-CoV-2 variant panel by MassArray allows us to overcome these challenges. It is highly simple, specific, cost-effective and has a short turnaround time. It can detect 15 variants, targeting a total of 36 genetic markers within 2 to 3 days of TAT.
The nasopharyngeal samples collected in viral transport media (VTM) tubes with less than 30 ct value for COVID-19 by RT-PCR are only accepted to confirm the variant type identification.
Key Assay Features
- Accurate detection
- Maximized throughput enabling us to process a large number of samples
- Fastest TAT within 2-3 Days.
