CoviDetect™ FAST – A multiplex assay for detection of COVID-19 on Real-Time PCR in 51 minutes

SARS-CoV-2 Detection

PentaBase’s CoviDetect™ FAST diagnostic assay is a real-time RT (Reverse transcriptase) PCR assay, which is based on highly sensitive technology that is used to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus in patients, without eliminating the possibilities of co-infections with other viruses or bacteria.

The assay can be applied to standard real-time PCR equipment and Nucleic Acid Extraction Instruments using standard procedures. With the use of CoviDetect™ FAST assay, detection of the RNA presence of the virus will provide a quick, sensitive, and selective nucleic Acid extraction, and real-time RT-PCR analysis in only 51 minutes.

PentaBase Develops Assays for COVID-19 Mutations

PentaBase is proud to be one of the only European companies that offer SARS-CoV-2 mutation assays, which can detect the more infectious variants, cluster B.1.1.7, cluster B.1.351/501YV2, cluster P.1, and mutation N439K.

With our CoviDetect™ COVID-19 Mutation RT-PCR Assays, genetic variations from positive SARS-CoV-2 samples can be detected quickly, sensitively, and selectively by real-time RT-PCR followed by a DNA melt analysis.

Results are for the detection of genetic variations N501Y, P681H, Del69-70, E484K, N439K, and A701V and we will always have an analysis in case of a new variant.
