VIASURE SARS-CoV-2 Variant III Real Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the qualitative detection of RNA from genetic mutations in the S gene (Q954H) and in the ORF1a gene (A2710T) from positive SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal samples.

This test is intended for use as an aid to monitor the prevalence of genetic mutations in the S gene (Q954H) and in the ORF1a gene (A2710T) and to assist in control measures.

RNA is extracted from respiratory specimens, complementary DNA (cDNA) is synthetised and amplified using RT-qPCR and detected using fluorescent reporter dye probes specific for genetic mutations in the S gene (Q954H) and in the ORF1a gene (A2710T).
