Biomeme’s SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Go-Vial® Test detects the RNA of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This test detects two different SARS-CoV-2 genes and is conveniently multiplexed together with our RNA Process Control (RPC) for RNA extraction and RT-PCR.
Biomeme Go-Vials™ already contain lyophilized master mix, enzymes, and multiplexed primers/probes for the following triplex reaction:
Green (FAM) | Amber (TexRedX) | Red (ATTO647N) |
SARS-CoV-2-Orf1ab gene |
RNA Process Control (MS2 bacteriophage) |
SARS-CoV-2-Spike gene |
Go-Vials™ are are not pre-aliquoted enabling the use of pipetting robots (or multichannel pipettes) to set up reactions using plastics that are compatible with your specific PCR machine; a single vial contains enough assay for 65x 20µL or 130x 10µL reactions.
Each order includes the following:
Item | Description | Quantity |
SARS-CoV-2 Go-Vial™ | Re-suspend as many shelf-stable, lyophilized, and pre-mixed vials as needed for your PCR runs and freeze the rest for later. Each reaction contains master mix, enzymes, primers and probes. | 1 |
RNA Process Control (RPC) Kit | Each kit contains a 2ml tube with a MS2 bacteriophage pellet inside, a 5ml tube with buffer inside, and a 1mL transfer pipette. | 1 |
675µL of DNase/RNase Free Molecular Grade Water | For resuspension of your Go-Vial™ | 1 |
Note: SARS-CoV-2 Go-Vials® are authorized for IVD in Canada only.
If you are looking for lower throughput solutions, take a look at Biomeme's SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Go-Strips® and/or Go-Plates®. These kits are used with Biomeme's ultra-portable Franklin® Thermocyclers and 96-well Thermocyclers.
This test is intended for the qualitative detection of RNA from SARS-COV-2 in nasopharyngeal, nasal, and oropharyngeal swab specimens and nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate specimens.
Highlights
-
Best-in-class molecular in-vitro diagnostic test
-
Detects all COVID-19 variants of concern
-
A multiplexed reaction means that all 3 targets are in a single reaction. So, a single reaction equates to a single sample.
-
Includes a quantified exogenous positive control for RNA extraction and RT-PCR. It is a shelf-stable, lyophilized pellet of MS2 bacteriophage that you can expect to be detected at the same Cq every time.
-
Because each test is lyophilized, you are able to add more sample (“template”) to the test (20 µL) which will directly increase sensitivity without throwing off your reagent concentrations.
-
Most other assays require shipment on dry ice and storage in a -80°C freezer which can increase the risk of components going bad due to freeze and thaw cycles. With our test, there is no need for refrigeration, lab equipment, or mixing of wet reagents.
-
Most assays come in multiple components or in bulk and need to be mixed and aliquoted by an experienced molecular biologist, further increasing the risk of contamination. There is no mixing or aliquoting of components required with our test. It’s already taken care of.
