COVID-19 Detection Kits


COVID-19 RT-PCR Detection Kit CE-IVD Certified Marking

Our newly developed RT-PCR kit serves as an ideal molecular diagnostic tool to detect COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2. In order to assess the kit's performance, it has been clinically tested by a third party CRO (the analytical detection limit for the SARS-COV-2 RT-PCR Detection Kit was determined as 10 copies/reaction; Ct <37).

Highly specific for the ORF1ab and N target markers recommended by the WHO and US CDC

Ready-to-use reaction kit that includes MasterMix, Primers/Probes, and Internal Positive Control

Can be used with samples collected from sputum and naso/ oropharyngeal swabs

Compatible with standard RT-PCR machines (Applied Biosystems 7500, QuantStudio 7 Flex,
              or Bio-Rad CFX96 recommended)

NOTE: SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Detection Kits are NOT available for sale and/or use in USA.

*: Prices are for customers in Canada only.

COVID-19 Viral RNA Extraction Kits


COVID-19 Viral Extraction Kit CE-IVD Marking Certified

These Viral RNA extraction kits are especially designed for Coronavirus (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) RNA Extraction. The kits simplify the isolation of viral RNA from Nasopharyngeal swabs (dry) or Viral transport medium (VTM) containing Nasopharyngeal swabs, Nasopharyngeal aspirates, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples. The kits are available in a fast spin‐column format, or magnetic beads format where no phenol/chloroform extraction is required. Viral RNA binds specifically, while contaminants are removed in the flow‐through. PCR inhibitors such as divalent cations and proteins are completely removed, leaving pure viral RNA to be eluted in RNase‐free water. Purified RNA is ready to use in RT‐PCR detection, Northern blotting, or other downstream applications.

Kits are available in spin-column or magnetic bead formats.

*: Prices are for customers in Canada and USA only.

Viral Transport Medium


Viral Transport Medium (VTM)

Viral Transport Medium (VTM) is used to collect and transport viruses in an active or inactive form to the laboratory for isolation. It is designed to maintain the viability and the virulence of the viral sample (or to keep the virus in an inactive state with it's RNA preserved) while it is transported to the laboratory.

Guanidine Thiocyanate


Guanidine Thiocyanate RNA Isolation COVID-19

Guanidine Thiocyanate (Guanidinium thiocyanate or guanidinium isothiocyanate), a powerful protein denaturant, is most often used to inactivate endogenous RNases in the isolation of RNA from various tissues and bacteria. When used with acid-equilibrated phenol or phenol:chloroform, a solution of Guanidine Thiocyanate and beta-mercaptoethanol are very effective in disrupting both cytoplasmic and nuclear membranes while maintaining the integrity of the RNA. In addition, Guanidine Thiocyanate is also used as a storage buffer for blood samples.
