Roche launches new quantitative antibody test to measure SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, to support the evaluation of vaccines
- The new Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S test can quantitatively measure the level of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in patients who have been exposed to the virus.
- The test? targets antibodies against the spike protein. This is the focus of vaccines in development and convalescent plasma therapy.1
- Using the Elecsys Anti-SARS-COV-2 S antibody test, together with the Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2* test launched in May, can help to more effectively determine the percentage of a population who already have antibodies against SARS-COV-2.
- Launching COVID-19 diagnostic tests for active infection and the detection of antibodies in patients who have been exposed to the virus,
- Investigating treatments from our existing portfolio to better understand their potential to treat patients with COVID-19,
- Increasing manufacturing and supply chain capacity to meet product demand across our portfolio within the wider context of COVID-19 treatment,
- Ensuring the supply of our existing medicines and diagnostics to patients around the world under exceptional conditions.
