SARS-CoV-2 PLUS ELITe MGB® Kit

SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A virus, Influenza B virus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are major viral pathogens associated with acute respiratory infections that can vary considerably in clinical presentation and severity. Despite differences in their epidemiology and impact across populations, infections caused by these viruses can present similar and nonspecific symptoms, making it difficult to identify the causative pathogen based on clinical presentation alone. In addition, the detection of one respiratory virus does not exclude coinfection with another respiratory virus.

Molecular testing enables the rapid and simultaneous detection and differentiation of multiple respiratory viruses, helping to identify the causative pathogen and support appropriate patient management and infection control. SARS-CoV-2 PLUS ELITe MGB® Kit is a qualitative multiplex one-step reverse transcription and Real-Time PCR assay for the detection and identification of RNA from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2), Influenza A Virus (FluA), Influenza B Virus (FluB), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), extracted from clinical specimens.

The assay is validated for use with ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius® instruments for nasopharyngeal swab matrix.
