Applied Biosystems™ TaqPath™ COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit, 100 Reactions

Applied Biosystems™ TaqPath™ COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit, 100 Reactions

The TaqPath COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit contains assays, controls, and master mix required for the real-time PCR detection of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The kit can be used by clinical and public health laboratories to quickly evaluate up to 382 patient specimens in under 2 hours. The kit contains the reagents and controls for a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper respiratory specimens (such as nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, nasal, and mid‑turbinate swabs, and nasopharyngeal aspirate) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19.
The TaqPath COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR kit is a single, high throughput (1,000 reactions) kit and is approved for use on Applied Biosystems real-time PCR systems including the 7500, 7500 Fast, or 7500 Fast Dx real time systems or the QuantStudio 5 (96 well, 0.1 mL & 0.2 mL; 384 well), 5 Dx, or 7 Flex (384-well) real-time PCR instruments,  as well as with the associated Applied Biosystems COVID-19 Interpretive Software.

Features

• TaqPath COVID‑19 RT‑PCR Kit, 1000 reactions
      --TaqPath COVID‑19 Assay Multiplex—multiplexed assays that contain three primer/probe sets specific to different SARS-CoV-2 genomic regions and primers/probes for bacteriophage MS2
      --MS2 Phage Control—RNA control to verify the efficacy of the sample preparation and the absence of inhibitors in the PCR reaction. To perform the control, add MS2 Phage Control to the samples before extraction of the RNA.
• TaqPath COVID-19 Control—RNA control that contains targets specific to the SARS-CoV-2 genomic regions targeted by the assays
• TaqPath COVID‑19 Control Dilution Buffer
• TaqPath 1-Step Multiplex Master Mix (No ROX)
• Package insert—provides the instructions and the link to download the Instructions for Use
