SARS-COV-2 R-GENE ®  Benefits

  • "All-in-one" kit for efficient order management
    • Reliable diagnostics even in the event of a mutation in the virus using two triplex PCRs
      • PCR 1: SARS-COV-2 N gene (FAM) / Internal Control (HEX) / SARS-COV-2 RdRp gene (CY5)
      • PCR 2: SARBECOVIRUS E Gene (FAM) / Internal Control (HEX) / Cell Control (CY5)
    • Internal control to validate PCR & cell control to ensure correct sampling and reliable results
    • Safe and fast: test result in 4 to 5 hours, this optimizes your workflow and improves patient management
  • Only 4 to 5 hours until the result is available
    • Easy integration into the laboratory workflow
      • Use on all common extraction and amplification platforms  
      • for manual analyzes or automated workflows with the ARGENE ®  SOLUTION

Everything you need in one kit

SARS-COV-2 R-GENE ® is a molecular biological test that detects the virus after viral nucleic acid extraction using real-time PCR. The in vitro test contains all the necessary reagents optimized for the detection of SARS-COV-2:

  • Ready-to-use master mix (including Taq polymerase)
  • reverse transcriptase
  • positive controls
  • negative control
  • An internal control (IC1) checks the extraction process and the presence of amplification inhibitors in the sample (in the PCR1)
  • A cell control checks the sampling (in the PCR2)

Simple procedure

Running the SARS-COV-2 R-GENE ® Assay is extremely easy. Simply add the extracted RNA sample to the ready-to-use PCR master mix, start the reaction on the appropriate real-time PCR thermal cycler and then run the optimized cycling program described in the instructions for use.
