SENSITIVE NUCLEIC ACID BASED-DETECTION OF SARS-COV-2 AUTHORIZED UNDER FDA EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION
PerkinElmer New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit
Authorized Under FDA EUA
The PerkinElmer New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in human oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab samples. Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, to perform high complexity tests, or by similarly qualified non-U.S. laboratories.
- Specific: Detection of SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab and N genes
- Sensitive: Limit of detection
- Reliable: Performance verified with case studies from outbreak’s point of origin
- Automated: Options available to meet a broad range of sample throughput
