EliGene® COVID19 Omicron RT

EliGene® COVID19 Omicron RT Kit (REF: 90087-RT) is intended for qualitative RNA detection of seven types and subtypes of viruses. In a single reaction is detected SARS-CoV-2 virus, Influenza A virus (H1N1, H3N2, H5N1), Influenza B virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus B. Simultaneously, this kit allows to identify Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 virus, also denoted as B.1.1.529 by the detection of a specific mutation E484A.

Benfits and features:

• CE Mark
• Quick and affordable one-pot option for primary detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus with simultaneous genotyping of the E484A mutation, characteristic for the Omicron variant
• Includes primers and probes for detection of 2 additional respiratory viruses and their 6 subtypes - Influenza A virus (H1N1, H3N2, H5N1), Influenza B virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus B)
• An innovative mixture of 11 sets of primers and 6 TaqMan probes mixed in the ready-to-use mix
• Increased sensitivity enables to detect from the number of 5 genomic RNA copies
• Primers and probes adopted from the literature and/or approved by the authorities like WHO, CDC, or ECDC
• Suitable for RNA isolated from all types of clinical samples
• Special technology developed in EU by Elisabeth Pharmacon company
• Increased specifity due to multiple independent targets
• Compatible with all Elisabeth Pharmacon viral isolation kits
