RevoDx SARS-CoV-2 qPCR Kit

Coronaviruses are a large family of RNA viruses including HCoV-229E, OC43, NL63, and HKU1 that usually cause mild respiratory illnesses (1) with the exceptions of the fatal Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) (2) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS) (3) of the last two decades. A recent outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan, China declared in December 12th 2019 led to the isolation and identification of a new human coronavirus, 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2), as the responsible agent of this new acute respiratory syndrome (4).This virus can cause the disease named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). WHO refers to the virus as COVID-19 virus in its current documentation.
