Norgen Biotek™ COVID-19 TaqMan RT-PCR Kit (N/ORF1ab genes) Dx, 500 Reactions

Norgen’s COVID-19 TaqMan RT-PCR Kit (DxTM67300) (N/ORF1ab genes) Dx includes 2X One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix, a primer/probe mix, a positive control and a negative control (nuclease-free water). The primer/probe mix contains three SARS-CoV-2 detection targets; N (Nucleoprotein), ORF1ab (Open reading frame1ab) and the human RNase P transcript (RP - HEX/VIC) as an internal control target to monitor for PCR inhibition, and to validate the quality of the sample and the detection result. The provided N/ORF1ab/RP Positive Control contains an in vitro RNA transcript for the two SARS-related target genes: N gene, ORF1ab gene as well as the human RP gene (internal control).

Positive results are indicative of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection, however clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other viruses and therefore the agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Any negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.

Norgen’s COVID-19 TaqMan RT-PCR Kit (N/ORF1ab genes) Dx is intended for use by professional users including clinical laboratory personnel experienced and trained in molecular biology techniques including real-time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures.

Norgen’s COVID-19 TaqMan RT-PCR Kit (N/ORF1ab genes) Dx was developed and validated to be used with the BioRad CFX96 Touch^TM Real-Time PCR Detection System.
