The Reliance SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kit is a real-time reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) test that can detect nucleic acid in SARS-CoV-2,\u00a0the virus associated with COVID-19 disease.\u00a0A version of the assay kit is also available in the United States under an U.S. FDA emergency use authorization (EUA).<\/p>\n<p>The Reliance SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kit (IVD) is designed for clinical diagnostic labs that conduct COVID-19 testing. The assay kit offers the qualitative detection of two separate target regions in the nucleocapsid gene (N1 and N2 regions) of SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swab specimens from individuals suspected of being infected by COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Because the test are designed to target the nucleocapsid gene, the assay\u2019s performance is not affected by known coronavirus variants as determined by in-silico analysis. The assay kit contains Bio-Rad\u2019s standard and negative molecular controls as well as assay reagents. It is validated to run on Bio-Rad\u2019s CFX96 Dx RT-PCR system, as well as RT-PCR systems from other manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited about the European launch of our SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kit (IVD), a reliable, sensitive, and accurate solution for COVID-19 testing,\u201d said Steven Blakely, Bio-Rad Global Director of Marketing, Life Science Group, Gene Expression. \u201cTesting laboratories worldwide use Bio-Rad\u2019s RT-PCR systems for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The assay kit is the latest addition to our COVID-19 offering of research and testing products, reflecting our ongoing commitment to helping in the fight against COVID-19,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For more information, \u00a0visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bio-rad.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.bio-rad.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched its Reliance SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kit (IVD) for European markets after having met the CE-IVD mark requirements.
