The importance of SARS-CoV-2 variants surveillance

  • The SARS-CoV-2 variants can not only interrupt the formation of herd immunity through vaccination, but also the prevention and efficacy of the medical treatment.
  • It is essential that we monitor SARS-CoV-2 variants in order to prevent further spread of COVID-19 and construct the effective quarantine measures.
  • Simultaneous discrimination for 13 lineages of VOCs (Variant of Concern) & VOIs (Variant of Interest)
    ※ The variants are classified by the US CDC (update : July 13, 2021).

To detect the mutation of RBD in S-gene

  • The spike protein (S-protein) of SARS-CoV-2 plays a crucial role in recognizing the receptor, attaching the host cell, and penetrating into the body.
  • Therefore, monitoring the mutation of receptor binding domain (RBD)* in the S-gene, S-protein coding gene is at utmost importance.
  • The Kit is designed to detect the 6 major SNPs in RBD* of S gene
