THE GENOMICS ENTHUSIAST
COVID-19 Testing of Vaccinated Individuals
Should vaccinated people still be tested for COVID-19? Breakthrough infections are driving the need to test vaccinated individuals against COVID-19.
COVID-19 Antigen Test Awarded Regulatory Approval in Brazil
The PerkinElmer® COVID-19 Antigen Test has been approved by the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency of Brazil (ANVISA) as a Class III in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device. This approval authorizes the sale, distribution, and use of PerkinElmer’s 15-minutes antigen test in Brazil for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2, with nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs. The PerkinElmer® COVID-19 Antigen test is an accurate and efficient product to screen for the presence of COVID-19.

Detecting B.1.617 VOC
Identifying the Delta VOC (B.1.617) with the NEXTFLEX® Variant-Seq™ SARS-CoV-2 Kit | On May 10, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated the delta variant a variant of concern (VOC), the fourth variant to receive this designation.
Evolution of COVID-19 Testing at Augusta University
Watch our on-demand webinar | During the past year, laboratories across the globe have joined together to take up the fight against COVID19 by rapidly launching clinical diagnostic assays to detect affected individuals and ultimately help curb the spread of the disease.
Do COVID-19 Vaccinations Cause False Positives?
Currently the CDC recommends that any fully vaccinated person who experiences symptoms consistent with COVID-19 be tested for SARS-CoV-2 if indicated. That leads to the question can COVID-19 vaccinations cause false positives? Here’s what we know.
