The need for rapid detection and continuous monitoring of Sars-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) is greater than ever, as these variants are more transmissible and therefore increase the pressure of COVID-19 on healthcare systems.
Together with the Swiss TPH, we have developed and demonstrated a robust and fast diagnostic approach for the identification of Sars-CoV-2 VOC-associated spike gene mutations based on our diagnostic platform “peakPCR”. Not only do we highlight the various uses of our cartridges, but peakPCR performs just as well as the conventional thermocycler.
