Real-time PCR system SmartChip®

384-wellcompact

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% -Cross-reactivity: no significant cross-reactivity with related pathogens, or pathogens and normal flora likely to be found in similar samples The SmartChip Real-Time RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 Reagents are for Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostics procedures. The SmartChip Real-Time RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 Reagents are used to perform high-throughput qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swab samples. The assay is performed using primers specific to SARS-CoV-2 on the SmartChip Real-Time PCR System and detects viral RNA, generally present in upper respiratory regions during infection. The reagent kit contains enough reagents for one chip run with 378 samples and 6 controls (negative control in triplicate, positive control in duplicate, and an extraction control). -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
