Logix Smart - SARS-CoV-2 (genes RdRp/e) Test Kit
The Logix Smart™ SARS-CoV-2 (genes RdRp/E) Test kit is an in vitro diagnostic test that uses our patented CoPrimer™ technology for the qualitative detection of two genes (gene RdRp and gene E) from the RNA of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). The test operates using a single step real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) process in lower respiratory tract fluids (e.g. bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum, tracheal aspirate), upper respiratory tract fluids (e.g. nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs), and saliva during the acute phase of detection.
COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a relatively new virus in humans. COVID-19 can present with a mild to severe illness, although some people infected with COVID-19 may have no symptoms at all. Older adults and people of any age who have underlying medical conditions have a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Serious outcomes of COVID-19 include hospitalization and death. The SARS-CoV-2 virus can be spread to others not just while one is sick, but even before a person shows signs or symptoms of being sick (e.g., fever, coughing, difficulty breathing, etc.). A full list of symptoms of COVID-19 can be found at the following link:
The Logix Smart SARS-CoV-2 (genes RdRp/E) test is a real-time RT-PCR multiplex test intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of nucleic acid from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), targeting the genes RdRp in the polygene Orf1ab region and gene E of the virus genome, in lower respiratory tract samples (e.g. bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum, tracheal aspirate), upper respiratory tract samples (e.g. nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs), and saliva from individuals suspected of COVID-19.
The Logix Smart SARS-CoV-2 test is intended for use by trained clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures.
