Bosphore SARS-CoV-2 / Flu / RSV Panel Kit is a Real-Time PCR based in-vitro diagnostic medical device, IVD CE marked according to 98/79/EC Directive.
Bosphore SARS-CoV-2/Flu/RSV Panel Kit detects and discriminates 2019-nCoV (which is later renamed officially as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by WHO), RSV A&B and influenza A&B in human respiratory samples including nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal swabs and saliva.
Fluorescence detection is accomplished using FAM, HEX, Texas Red and Cy5 filters. SARS-CoV-2 is detected by two regions of the virus (Orf1ab and N gene nCoV specific) from a single channel FAM. RSV A&B is detected by HEX channel. Influenza A&B is detected by Cy5 channel. An internal control based on the detection of human endogenous nucleic acid sequence (RNase P) present in human genome has been employed in order to check RNA extraction, PCR inhibition and sampling or application errors. Internal control is detected by Texas Red channel.
