S-gene advantage for potential early identification of the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529)
This test uses a multi-target design that includes an S-gene target. If a sample with the 69-70del S-gene mutation is tested using the TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit, it will result in an S-gene dropout. The European CDC and WHO have noted this pattern of detection may help with early identification of the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529).
TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit targets 3 areas of SARS-CoV-2 virus
- Built-in redundancy (3 targets) compensates for emerging SARS-CoV-2 mutations and variants, helping provide confidence in your results
- Targets areas unique to SARS-CoV-2* virus to reduce detection of other coronaviruses
