Bag - Model ViroQ SC2 Variant - SARS CoV-2 Differentiation Kit
Fast detection of variants? With our clever real-time ViroQ® SC2 Variant 1 / Variant 2 and Variant 3 kits you can react quickly to variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus of origin. In contrast to gene-seqeuncing, which takes about 30 hours, the real-time PCR tests deliver results on the most important mutants in only 60 minutes.
- Efficient: pre-selection of positive samples increases qualitative output in sequencing
- Fast: resource-saving 60 minutes PCR versus 30 hours sequencing
- Effective: only samples with variants are sequenced
- Safe: easy handling, ready-to-use standard reagents
The PCR kits uses four colours compatible with most common real-time cyclers.
ATTENTION: ViroQ® SC2 Variant 3 can also be used to reliably determine the two SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants BA.1/3 and BA.2.!
DETECT variants securely in just one PCR run!
Several mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 corona virus that have already been identified will have unforeseeable consequences in the pandemic. Genetic changes in the spike protein are suspected to lead to a higher risk of infection, different courses of the disease, and resistance to vaccines
Therefore, internationally stated goals are
- to identify deviations from the original virus and
- individuals infected with the variants
as quickly as possible. To assist in this process, we have developed the ViroQ® SC2 Variant 1 / Variant 2 and Variant 3 Kits. In contrast to gene-sequencing, which takes about 30 hours, the new real-time PCR assay provides results on the most important variants in only 60 minutes. All three kits include a confirmatory test for the SARS-CoV-2 variant of origin (Wuhan). In order to detect even more variants - also redundant and thus more reliable - a combination of the kits is possible.
- Rapid detection of variants – foci of infection can be quickly contained
- pre-selection of positive samples increases qualitative output in sequencing
- resource-saving 60 minutes PCR versus 30 hours sequencing
- only samples with variants are sequenced
- safe handling, ready-to-use reagents
- low logistics costs – transport at room temperature
