KRIVIDA Novus is a novel in-vitro 5-Plex RT-qPCR kit that detect the SARS-CoV-2 using ve different gene targets, such as, RdRp, N-gene, S-gene, endogenous-IC and it has a variant specic S gene probe for newly emerged Omicron. The uniqueness of the KRIVIDA Novus kit is that it can detect COVID-19 and differentiate the other variants from Omicron in single-tube assay. This property reduces the time taken for the whole genome sequencing to conrm the Omicron variant (from usual 4-7 days to 1 hr), which helps to quickly quarantine the infected patients thereby curtailing the community spread to a great extent.
KRIVIDA Novus SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Detect 5 gene target [Four different gene targets for SARS-CoV-2 and one internal amplication control gene (IAC)]. The kit differentiates the Omicron from other variants in routine RT-qPCR test (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta , Lambda, and Mu). Pick up Omicron variant (B.1.1.529), specically in RT-qPCR. [Important Note: BA.2 (sub-lineage of Omicron) will not show S gene dropout in routine test. Chances of missing out Omicron Positive patients may prevail. Whereas KRIVIDA Novus picks up all the sub-lineages of Omicron, such as, BA.1, BA.2 and BA.3] Solves the problem of waiting period of genome sequencing for Omicron which there by helps in prevention of variant spread . This kit employs a specic pattern of unique combination of ''SGTF'' and Omicron specic amplication signal. Most suitable COVID-19 test kit for travelers at Airport Screening Point and mass gathering. No chance of missing the COVID-19 positive cases by conrmatory gene target failure (RdRP or N-gene). SARS-CoV-2, Whole Genome Sequencing cost Rs. 5000 to 6000 per sample, the KRIVIDA Novus RT qPCR kit will be in the range of the routine lab RT PCR testing cost
