Applied Biosystems™ TaqCheck™ SARS-CoV-2 Fast PCR Assay

Applied Biosystems™ TaqCheck™ SARS-CoV-2 Fast PCR Assay

The AppliedBiosystems TaqCheck SARS-CoV-2 Fast PCR Assay Kit is a multiplexed, highly sensitive, fast RT‐PCR assay for the qualitative detection and characterization of SARS-CoV-2 RNA (S and N genes) that compensates for emerging variants and mutations plus a human RNAse P assay to help assess sample adequacy. The SARS-CoV-2 assays target two different viral genomic regions, reducing the risk of failure to detect SARS-CoV-2. The SARS-CoV-2 N and S gene assay targets have undergone bioinformatic selection and analysis to specifically target sequences that are unique to SARS-CoV-2. The assays are designed to work with raw saliva from research samples.

For use with equipments: QuantStudio™ 5 Real‐Time PCR Instrument, 384-well; 7500 Fast Real Time PCR Instrument, 96 well; QuantStudio™ 5 Real Time PCR Instrument, 96 well, 0.2-mL block; QuantStudio™ 7 Flex Real-Time PCR Instrument, 384 well
