ViroKey® SQ FLEX SARS-CoV-2 Genotyping Assay

Detection for mutation, through whole genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2

DESCRIPTION

The ViroKey SQ FLEX SARS-CoV-2 Genotyping Assay is a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based test intended for the detection of genomic mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome from nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab samples to support molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 research.

The  ViroKey SQ FLEX SARS-CoV-2 Genotyping Assay is used in conjunction with the Sentosa® SX U-Prep Kit as well as the Sentosa SQ Virus Testing Solutions on the Sentosa SX101, Sentosa ST401 and Sentosa SQ301 instruments.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

High Performance and Robustness:

  • > 99% coverage of the SARS-CoV-2 genome
  • ≥ 200x depth of coverage

Providing Laboratory Efficiency and Effectiveness:

  • Able to extract up to 15 samples (plus controls) per run
  • Reliable and reproducible variant calling
  • Automated workflow, from samples to results in two days
  • Minimal hands-on time of < 2 hours
  • Automatic bioinfomatics analysis and report generation (including PANGO Lineage and Nextclade Analysis) with Sentosa SQ Reporter
