SNPsig® VariPLEX SARSCoV-2 is a real-time-reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) multiplex assay to be used as a reflex qPCR test. VariPLEX™ SARS-CoV-2 can be performed on extracted sample eluates from positive COVID-19 tests.
Detects the variants originally identified in the UK (20I/501Y.V1), South Africa (20H/501Y.V2), Brazil (20J/501Y.V3) and California (20C/S:452R), and the key biologically significant mutations N501Y and E484K, which are now all prevalent globally.
