GSD NovaPrime® SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RT-PCR (2x384)
GSD NovaPrime® SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RT-PCR is a highly sensitive Multiplex Real-Time PCR with CE-IVD marking for the direct qualitative pathogen detection of SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA in respiratory samples. The assay simultaneously detects two target sequences in the N gene.
It can also be used on saliva and pharynx gargling samples - these new matrices constitute an easy-to-use sampling method that is particularly useful for self-sampling applications and are suitable for children.

The GSD NovaPrime® SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RT-PCR is intended for the qualitative determination of SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) genomic RNA extracted from human respiratory (nasal wash/swab, nasopharyngeal wash/swab, oropharyngeal swab and bronchoalveolar lavage) specimen types.
It is also validated on saliva and pharynx gargling samples. Gargling is a non-invasive, easy-to-use sampling method that is less uncomfortable for the patient and particularly useful for self-sampling applications and the testing of children.
The assay simultaneously detects two target sequences inside the N gene. The multiplex PCR allows a streamlined workflow in one reaction and provides results in approximately 1 hour. An extraction/inhibition control and positive control is included in the reagents.
The PCR assay demonstrates excellent performance with a 100% Negative and Positive Percent Agreement (NPA, PPA) for all tested samples and no cross-reactivity with other common widely spread coronaviruses. The analytic sensitivity shows a limit of detection of 3.75 copies/reaction.
