The SmartChip Real-Time RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 Reagents can be combined with primers specific to SARS-CoV-2 to perform qualitative, high-throughput detection of viral RNA in upper respiratory samples using the SmartChip Real-Time PCR System. The resulting assay detects low copies of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, generally present in upper respiratory specimens during infection by the virus.
High-sensitivity (limit of detection): 16 copies/µl
Positive percent agreement: 96.7%
Negative percent agreement (specificity): 100%
Cross-reactivity: no significant cross-reactivity with related pathogens, or pathogens and normal flora likely to be found in similar samples
Overview
Improve throughput and turnaround time—process up to 768 samples per day
Significant cost savings—save up to 200X with nanoliter-scale reactions
High-sensitivity—detect as low as 16 copies/µl of SARS-CoV-2 RNA without the need for a separate preamplification step
No cross-reactivity—be confident with kit components validated to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2
