Product description

Brings safety for small and high sample throughput

According to current experience, an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) causes only common cold symptoms in four out of five infections. However, in patients with a weakened immune system or corresponding chronic illnesses, disease patterns with a more serious course - even death - can occur. If the virus spreads too quickly, intensive medical care for patients cannot be guaranteed throughout the country.

Against the massive spread of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, our reliable CE IVD certified rapid tests helps to locate infected persons safely. This is the only way to prevent the unchecked spread of the virus. We have made ViroQ SARS-Cov-2 even more efficient with a specially optimized PCR protocol. With ViroQ Rapid SARS-CoV-2 valid results are available after less than 60 minutes. That means one more test run per day! The PCR protocol is applicable to both kits.

False negative results, due to insufficient sampling with too little cell material, are excluded by this tests. The detection of a human gene that occurs universally in cells in ViroQ  and ViroQ Rapid SARS-CoV-2 tests checks whether sufficient cell material is available for valid results.

With our kits you remain independent from dedicated providers - they work with common RNA-Isolation kits and common real time cyclers. The test results are available in only 90 minutes - with ViroQ Rapid SARS-CoV-2 (thanks to the optimized PCR protocol) in less than 60 minutes.

We have also thought about the logistics costs: To keep them as low as possible, both Test Kits can be shipped uncooled. A control temperature of - 20 degrees Celsius is only necessary during storage.

 

Fast One-Step Real-time PCR

The ViroQ and ViroQ Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Kits are designed for specific detection of viral RNA Gene E and RdRP of SARS-CoV-2 in respiratory samples. In our test kits the RNA is converted from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) to cDNA in a one-step PCR procedure. This cDNA is then amplified in the same real time PCR protocol.
