Paragon Genomics CleanPlex SARS-CoV-2 NGS Panel

Paragon Genomics has launched its CleanPlex SARS-CoV-2 Panel for COVID-19 coronavirus detection, tracking, and research through amplicon-based target enrichment for next-generation sequencing applications. According to the firm, the panel covers the entire genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic. Paragon said that the panel's four-step workflow converts viral RNA into sequencing-ready libraries within five hours. Powered by Paragon's CleanPlex's technology, versions of the panel are available for both the Illumina and MGI sequencing platforms. 

Paragon is also offering free consultation for researchers interested in designing custom NGS panels for coronavirus research.
