Detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A/Influenza B 

Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with single stranded RNA genome. Up to 2002 they were considered mostly as causes of common cold. However, with the emergence of SARS (Sever Acute Respiratory Syndrome by SARS CoV) in 2002, then MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome by MERS CoV), and recently COVID-19 (by SARS-CoV-2), they are considered major health problem issues. Early and accurate detection is essential for controlling transmission. 

Human influenza A and B are enveloped RNA viruses of the Orthomyxoviridae family. While both of these viruses cause seasonal flu epidemics, Influenza A virus is responsible for majority of them and may also cause pandemics. 

COVID-Flu RQ kit provides a ready-to-use One-Step Multiplex Real-Time RT-PCR assay for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A virus, Influenza B virus.

Description

Advantages of COVID-Flu RQ Kit

Ready to Use

The CoV-Flu Mix contains all necessary reagents for One-Step Real-Time RT-PCR and is ready to use; no further reagent or mixing is required. Reactions are prepared simply by addition of the mix directly to the tubes followed by the sample RNA. Results are viewed in Green/FAM, Yellow/VIC, Orange/ROX channels.

Internal Control

This Kit also incorporates an Internal Control (IC) to identify possible extraction failure or PCR inhibition and preventing false negative results. errors.

Quality Control

Control & Mix of COVID-Flu RQ Kit are manufactured in batches, and each series is distributed only after passing Quality Control tests for Specificity, Sensitivity, Accuracy and Precision.

Easy & Quick Setup

Kit contains a template file for quick and easy setup of the Real-Time PCR instrument, also reducing setup errors.
