Sars-CoV-2

Diagnovital Sars-CoV-2 Real Time PCR Kit

DIAGNOVITAL® SARS-CoV-2 is a real-time RT-PCR-based detection system for the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is considered a novel human coronavirus that is genetically distinct from the common human coronaviruses (229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1), which cause seasonal acute respiratory illness. It is also genetically distinct from the two newer human coronaviruses, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV.

DIAGNOVITAL® SARS-CoV-2 detects the presence of 2 different and highly specific gene sequences of SARS-CoV-2: E gene and RdRp gene. All 2 essays must be tested positive to confirm the sample as SARS-CoV-2-positive.

Additionally, a non-infectious positive control and a negative human extraction control are included. Human Extraction Control (HEC) is needed to ensure appropriate RNA extraction, purification, and reverse transcription and all reagents involved in the reaction. The Human Extraction Control (HEC) master mix contains primers and probes for an endogenous human target, which is extracted from the swab during the extraction step. We don’t put an external DNA or RNA template as extraction control, since we already get a human target during extraction. The positive control is used to confirm the functionality of the assays and overall PCR performance, the negative human extraction control is included to evaluate the quality of the RNA isolation independently from the SARS-CoV-2 assays.

Diagnovital Sars-Cov-2 Multiplex Real Time PCR Kit

Diagnovital SARS-CoV-2 Multiplex is a real-time RT-PCR-based detection system for the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is considered a novel human coronavirus that is genetically distinct from the common human coronaviruses (229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1), which cause seasonal acute respiratory illness. It is also genetically distinct from the two newer human coronaviruses, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV.

Diagnovital SARS-CoV-2 Multiplex detects the presence of 2 different and highly specific gene sequences of coronaviruses (N1 and N2) at the FAM channel and one sequence-specific for human RNA serving as a human extraction control (HEC, RNaseP) at the HEX/VIC channel. All 2 assays must be tested positive to confirm the sample as SARS-CoV-2-positive.

Additionally, a non-infectious positive control and a negative human extraction control are included. Human Extraction Control (HEC) is needed to ensure appropriate RNA extraction, purification, and reverse transcription and all reagents involved in the reaction. The Human Extraction Control (HEC) master mix contains primers and probes for an endogenous human target, which is extracted from the swab during the extraction step. We don’t put an external DNA or RNA template as extraction control, since we already get a human target during extraction. The positive control is used to confirm the functionality of the assays and overall PCR performance, the negative human extraction control is included to evaluate the quality of the RNA isolation independently from the SARS-CoV-2 assays.

Diagnovital Sars-Cov-2 HS Real Time PCR Kit

Diagnovital HS SARS-CoV-2 is a qualitative test for the detection of the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in upper respiratory swab samples collected in Copan Universal Transport Medium System (UTM-RT) or BD Universal Viral Transport System (UVT) and is run on Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 in combination with Tianlong Generotex 96 extraction system and Tianlong Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit. In addition, the test utilizes external controls (positive control and negative control).

Diagnovital HS SARS-CoV-2 test is based on conventional RT-PCR technology including extraction and purification of the nucleic acid genome of SARS-CoV-2 followed by PCR amplification and detection. The test is run on Applied Biosystems QS5. Nucleic acid from patient samples and controls is extracted using the Tianlong Generotex 96 extraction system and Tianlong Viral DNA/RNA Extraction Kit. Nucleic acid is released by the lysis reagent and bound to magnetic beads. Unbound substances and impurities, such as denatured protein, cellular debris, and potential PCR inhibitors, are removed with subsequent wash steps and purified nucleic acid is eluted in the elution buffer.

selective amplification of target nucleic acid from the sample is achieved by the use of target-specific forward and reverse primers and probes specific to conserved regions of the N1 and N2 genes for SARS-CoV-2.

selective amplification of RNA Internal Control is achieved by the use of non-competitive, sequence-specific forward and reverse primers and a probe that has no homology with the coronavirus genome. A thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme is used for amplification.
