ddPCR and RT-PCR Assays for SARS-CoV-2 Variant Surveillance

HTML
Community

As new disease variants emerge, the need for fast, sensitive, and reliable tests is essential both for tracking purposes and sequencing prioritization.

Bio-Rad's SARS-CoV-2 Variant Assays are predesigned mutation detection assays targeting the most prominent variants. These single-tube duplex assays are designed to support detection of a mutant in the FAM channel and wild-type sequence in the HEX channel, using either Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) or RT-PCR.

New assays will continue to be made available as new variants emerge.

Information Purposes

The SARS-CoV-2 Variant Assays are for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
