SARS-CoV-2 + VOC202012 / 01 RT-qPCR

It is a variant of VOC-202012/01 SARS-CoV-2 that has caused a significant increase in the rate of COVID-19 infection in the UK. VOC-202012/01 has up to 70% higher risk of transmission than previous variants due to the unusually large number of mutations in the spike (S) protein. Rapidly spreading around the world, the variant was detected in 67 different countries as of 28.01.2021.

The SARS-CoV-2 + VOC202012 / 01 RT-qPCR kit can address this problem by targeting Orf1ab and N gene regions targeted for general SARS-CoV-2 screening, as well as an N gene region found only in VOC-202012/01 with a single reaction. offers a solution. With the kit, it is possible to reach the result from the sample in less than 40 minutes with much lower costs compared to DNA sequencing methods.
