Dear
At Novacyt Group, we pride ourselves on the scientific rigour we apply to all aspects of product design. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, ongoing analysis becomes increasingly crucial. Our state-of-the-art SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance programme allows us to monitor the virus closely as it spreads and mutates. We are pleased to report the latest findings for our solutions:
SNPsig® SARS-CoV-2 EscapePLEX can be used to screen SARS-CoV-2 positive samples for the presence of the Omicron variant with >98% confidence.
PathFlow® COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Pro targets the nucleocapsid protein (NP) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and therefore unaffected by the mutations associated with Omicron (BA.1 & BA.2), and other Variants of Concern (VoC).
Novacyt’s other main qPCR assays intended for primary SARS-CoV-2 testing are unaffected by the emergence of the Omicron variant.
