OPTI - Model SARS-CoV-2/Influenza A/B - RT-PCR Test
OPTI Medical Systems has obtained CE marking for its OPTI SARS-CoV-2/Influenza A/B RT-PCR Test for identification and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B RNA. The test is available in countries accepting the CE mark. This respiratory panel distinguishes between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B extracted from nasopharyngeal swabs. Use of this test is ideal for identifying the cause of symptoms during influenza season.
Distinguish between COVID-19 and flu
- Multiplexed detection and differentiation of three viruses simultaneously.
- Detection of two different targets in the N coding region of SARS-CoV-2, avoiding the S mutations found in recent variants.
- Monitoring of new variants of SARS-CoV-2 to ensure the test is not impacted by viral mutations.
- Optimized workflow from start to finish using an internal sample control targeting human RNase P.
- Secure supply in an uncertain situation.
- Combine this test with the OPTI DNA/RNA Magnetic Bead Kit for a complete solution.
Performance
The OPTI SARS-COV-2/Influenza A/B RT-PCR Test delivers highly accurate results with high sensitivity (LoD ≤3 copies/μl). Results are available as fast as 2 hours, including RNA extraction. The test detects SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern based on the sequences submitted to the GISAID database.
IDEXX Laboratories, the parent of OPTI Medical Systems, has extensive expertise in PCR test development and manufacturing.
OPTI DNA/RNA Magnetic Bead Kit
The OPTI DNA/RNA Magnetic Bead Kit is intended for extracting RNA from respiratory samples for subsequent analysis with the OPTI SARS-CoV-2/Influenza A/B RT-PCR Test. The extraction kit requires minimum hands-on time (less than 15 minutes) when used on automated magnetic separators, such as Kingfisher™ purification systems, for high-throughput sample processing. The optional manual protocol minimizes instrument investments.
