iAMP COVID-19 Detection Kit
This extraction-free kit specifically detects RNA and subsequently cDNA from the N and ORF1ab genes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal, nasopharyngeal, and/or oropharyngeal swabs from patients with signs and symptoms of infection who are suspected of having COVID-19.
Each kit includes 100 reactions.
This product is FDA-EUA approved and is CE-IVD certified.
iAMP COVID-19 Detection Kit
The COVID-19 Pandemic has highlighted the importance of rapid and accurate diagnostic assays. The Atila iAMP COVID-19 Detection Kit is a real-time reverse transcription isothermal amplification test based on a proprietary isothermal amplification technology termed OMEGA amplification (Patent: WO 2017/205510 A1; publication: The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, Vol.22, No 3, 419-428, 2020).
OMEGA primer sets are designed to specifically detect RNA and later cDNA from the N and ORF-1ab genes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal, nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal swabs from patients with signs and symptoms of infection who are suspected of COVID-19. The iAMP COVID-19 assay’s key differentiator from current rRT-PCR COVID-19 assays is its ability to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA directly from samples without prior RNA extraction process.
Swab specimens are inserted directly into our 1X iAMP COVID-19 Sample Buffer Mix with a 15 min incubation at room temperature and can be directly used for OMEGA isothermal amplification and signal detection. Sample to result takes about 1 hour.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by a virus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2). It is highly contagious and spreads quickly, Although many people with COVID-19 have mild to moderate symptoms and can recover on their own, cOVID-19 can be serious illness and lead to death in some people such as older adults and people with pre-existing medical conditions. As of November 2023, there have been 772 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 7 million deaths, reported to WHO.
