Product Details: Number of Reactions(Preps)/Kit : 1000 Brand ; Thermofisher Test Method : (SARS-CoV-2) RT-PCR Sample Type : Nasal & Oral Swab The Applied Biosystems TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit is a fast, highly sensitive multiplex diagnostic solution that contains the assays and controls needed for the real-time PCR detection of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Features of the newly developed multiplex diagnostic kit: A complete workflow from viral RNA extraction from up to 94 specimens and genetic analysis using real-time PCR to diagnostic report generation in under 4 hours Targeted specificity to 100% of currently available complete genomes for SARS-CoV-2 Assay targets spike (S) protein and nucleocapsid (N) protein regions having higher specificity and exhibiting lower risk for mutation COVID-19 Interpretive Software, which automatically converts genetic analysis data into diagnosis, helping reduce risk of user interpretation error The TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit consists of both the TaqPath RT-PCR COVID-19 Kit and the TaqPath COVID-19 Control Kit for simplified ordering. The kit can be used by clinical and public health laboratories to quickly evaluate up to 94 patient specimens in under 3 hours. The kit is approved for use with RNA extracted from nasopharyngeal swabs, nasopharyngeal aspirate (nasal aspirate), and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from patients at risk of exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or with signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (see product label for Intended Use Statement and product information). The TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit is a single, high-throughput (1,000 reactions) kit and is recommended for use with either the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR System or the 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (RUO version) and the associated Applied Biosystems COVID-19 Interpretive Software. The TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit includes the following components: TaqPath RT-PCR COVID-19 Kit COVID-19 real-time PCR assay multiplexâ??multiplexed assays that contain three primer/probe sets specific to different SARS-CoV-2 genomic regions and primers/probes for bacteriophage MS2 MS2 phage controlâ??internal process control for nucleic acid extraction TaqPath COVID-19 Controlâ??RNA control that contains targets specific to the SARS-CoV-2 genomic regions targeted by the assays TaqPath COVID-19 Control Dilution Buffer dilution buffer for the IVT RNA control as defined in the IFU (information for use)
