COVID-19
In Omega Bioservices, we offered COVID testing of the viral RNA using RT-PCR, with a standard turnaround time of < 24 hours and a premium turnaround time of < 12 hours. The Applied Biosystems TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit is used to provide a fast, highly sensitive multiplex diagnostic solution that contains the assays and controls needed for the real-time PCR detection of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Features of the multiplex diagnostic solution:
- A complete workflow from viral RNA extraction from up to 94 specimens and genetic analysis using real-time PCR to diagnostic report generation in under 4 hours
- Targeted specificity to 100% of currently available complete genomes for SARS-CoV-2
- Assay targets spike (S), nucleocapsid (N), and Orf1ab (ORF1ab) protein regions having higher specificity and exhibiting lower risk for mutation
RPP Testing
Based on the Applied Biosystems TrueMark Repiratory Panel 2.0, we custom-designed an RPP panel that targets on 24 respiratory tract viral and bacterial microbes, including SARS-CoV-2:
Adenovirus | Haemophilus Influenzae | Staphylococcus aureus | Parainfluenza virus 1 |
Bordetella pertussis | Influenza A | Streptococcus pneumoniae | Parainfluenza virus 2 |
Coronavirus 229E | Influenza A/H1-2009 | Chlamydophila pneumonia | Parainfluenza virus 3 |
Coronavirus HKU1 | Influenza A/H3 | Mycoplasma pneumoniae | Parainfluenza virus 4 |
Coronavirus NL63 | Influenza B | Respiratory syncytial virus A | Rhinovirus |
Coronavirus OC43 | Metapneumovirus | Respiratory syncytial virus B | SARS-CoV-2 |
Features of our RPP testing include:
- Extensive coverage—featuring a higher number of respiratory pathogenic organism targets than similar competitor products
- Cost-effective workflow—lowest cost per sample when compared with other commercially available molecular solutions
- Multiple sample input types—including nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and nasopharyngeal aspirate.
- Highest throughput—run up to 16 samples per plate
