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.
SARS-CoV-2 MUTATIONS ASSAYS
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.

PentaBase is testing for COVID-19 antibodies with the use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a blood sample from a person, which makes it possible to detect for the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19.
Our COVID-19 test is based on our proprietary, patented technology and validated in close collaboration with Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen and Novo Nordisk.Â
Our COVID-19 test has a market-leading sensitivity and is therefore able to detect even small amounts of virus. With this sensitivity, it is possible to detect virus 2-4 days before it can be passed on to others.
If you, or someone you know, have been tested positive for COVID-19, you can read more about how to behave here.
The samples are handled anonymously, and the testing is done according to the GDPR-requirements.
