Combinati Q SARS-CoV-2 Triple Assay for Absolute Q Digital PCR System

Combinati has launched the Q SARS-CoV-2 Triplex Assay for its Absolute Q digital PCR system. The multiplexed, research-use-only assay detects SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acids from extracted samples in a single reaction. The workflow includes microfluidic array partitioning plates and required reagents, has one hands-on step, and provides results in 90 minutes. The assay demonstrates sensitivity down to single viral targets, enabling researchers to detect trace amounts of virus even in a high background of human genomic DNA, according to the company.
