Hi‐PCR® Coronavirus (COVID‐19) Multiplex Probe PCR Kit includes primer‐probe sets specific to Envelope Protein (E) gene, Nucleoprotein (N) gene and RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene and internal process control. Kit also provides synthetic positive controls for validity of the test.
A series of severe unexplained viral pneumonia cases of unknown cause emerged in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in December 2019 was later identified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry with a characteristic club-shaped spikes on the surface.Hi-PCR® Coronavirus (COVID-19) Multiplex Probe PCR Kit is intended for use by qualified clinical laboratory personnel trained in the techniques of Real-Time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures. The kit is recommended for sensitive and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples.
