The IdPath™ COVID-19 Real-Time RT-PCR Kit is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA which might be extracted from the respiratory tract specimens. The Kit provides reagents for multiplex real-time RT-PCR to detect SARS-CoV-2 by one-step reaction, specifically targeting the E (Envelope), RdRP (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) and N (Nucleocapsid protein) gene for SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The Kit contains the RT enzyme mix and qPCR master mix for reverse transcription and real-time PCR of virus RNA. The COVID-19 Control (positive control) and ddWater (negative control) are used as indicators to avoid false negative/positive results across all experimental procedures. The Primers/probes Mix contains multiplex primers and TaqMan probes specific to the N, E/RdRP genes of SARS-CoV-2 and RNase P gene of human, detected by FAM, VIC and ROX channels, respectively.
