Integrated DNA Technologies xGen Respiratory Virus Amplicon Panel

Integrated DNA Technologies has launched the xGen Respiratory Virus Amplicon Panel, which consists of primers designed to cover more than 98 percent of the genomes of respiratory syncytial virus A, RSV B, influenza A H1N1, influenza A H3N2, influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2. IDT's xGen amplicon technology uses overlapping primer sets and a single-tube workflow, with a sample-to-sequencer time of 2.5 hours, and genome coverage from viral titers as low as 10 to 100 viral copies.
