Qiagen to Launch Viral RNA Epidemiology Test for COVID-19 and Other RNA Viruses
Shots:
- Qiagen to launch the QIAprep& Viral RNA UM Kit- designed to simplify and accelerate PCR swab analysis and remove key testing bottlenecks for Covid-19 and other RNA viruses
- The kit combines a liquid-based sample preparation step completed in the only 2min. with real-time PCR detection in a streamlined workflow that can be automated with standard lab equipment for any throughput- any assay and any reaction need from single to multiplex testing
- The workflow takes ~1hr. to deliver a result- compared to ~3hrs. for standard extraction-based quantitative PCR processes and can handle~2-600 samples /8hrs. shift per cycler. The kit complements Qiagen’s COVID-19 testing portfolio and accelerates PCR analysis for research applications
