gerbion - virellaSARS-CoV-2 mutant 3 real time PCR Kit

The virellaSARS-CoV-2 mutant 3 real time RT-PCR Kit is an assay for the detection of point mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 from biological specimens. The test kit is used with samples that have been prequalified with screening PCRs like virellaSARS-CoV-2 seqc real time RT-PCR Kit 2.0. The virellaSARS-CoV-2 mutant 3 real time RT-PCR Kit contains specific primer and probe systems for the detection of two SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mutations present in the Delta Variant of SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.617.2). The two detected mutations are L452R and P681R. Additionally, the combination of the mutations N440K, G446S, S477N, T478K, N679K and P681H, which are present in the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.1.529) can be detected. The test does not distinguish the lineages BA.1 from BA.2 (stealth version), both are detected as Omicron variant.
