• U-TOP™ COVID-19 Detection Kit is a real-time PCR based in-vitro diagnostic product intended for detection of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RNA in sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal smears collected from patients with a suspect viral infection
• The kit is composed of Internal Positive Control (IPC), to monitor the appropriate performance of amplification and detection of the kit. Accurate detection of the viral RNA is confirmed parallelly by using Positive and Negative controls which are composed in the kit.
