NEW YORK – BioMérieux said on Wednesday that it has received CE marking for its SARS-COV-2 Respi R-Gene test, which tests for SAR-CoV-2 and other respiratory infections.
BioMérieux's new assay simultaneously detects SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses A and B. Within each test kit is a cellular control to check the quality of the sample, and the kit comes with a second real-time PCR analysis to detect human respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus.
