THE GENOMICS ENTHUSIAST
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.
Single-Cell Profiling Webinar
Watch Our Webinar to Expand Your Single-Cell Opportunities | Biological resolution at the level of individual cells is powering the next phase of precision health. Honeycomb is developing a new paradigm in single-cell technology — integrating a sample storage solution within single-cell profiling.
COVID-19 Diagnostics and the New Variants
Panel Discussion: Recent Findings About SARS-CoV-2 Variants | This panel discussion covers the new COVID-19 variants, specifically the UK and South African variants.
Confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Results
Verifying the Presence of the SARS-CoV-2 in Positive RT-PCR Samples | The purpose of this study is to use Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of samples with a range of Ct values to verify the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 genome.
COVID-19 RT-PCR Ct Values
RT-PCR Ct FAQs | The “cycle threshold” or Ct value of an RT-PCR assay refers to the number of cycles needed to amplify viral RNA to reach a detectable level.
Meet the chemagic Team
Profound Expertise in Automated DNA and RNA Workflows | Since 1997, PerkinElmer chemagen develops and produces reliable chemagic™ instruments and kits for automated high-throughput nucleic acid purification from human sample materials.
COVID-19 Diagnostic Lab Workflow
Examining the Workflow of a Cutting-edge COVID-19 Diagnostic Lab | In early 2020, the Netherlands identified its first COVID-19 cases. Facilitating test capacity for all symptomatic individuals resulted in extensive pressure on diagnostics labs making it challenging for non- symptomatic individuals such as travelers, teachers and professional athletes to get tested.
Diagnosing COVID-19 B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 Lineages
WILL YOUR RT-PCR ASSAY IDENTIFY THE NEW SARS-COV-2 VARIANTS? Diagnosing COVID-19 Variants of Concern (VOCs) The WHO has designated four variants as being of global concern and requiring heightened tracking and analysis. These are the B.1.1.7, B. 1.351, P.1, and B.1.617 variants. Do These Mutations Affect PerkinElmer’s Diagnostic Coronavirus RT-PCR Assays? The mutations in the VOC recognized by [...]
