In the post-COVID era, the world needs a rapid and accurate diagnosis solution of different respiratory viruses for the appropriate patient management. Currently, testing for respiratory viruses is increasingly dependent on molecular assays, such as PCR, which can provide highly sensitive and accurate results. Increasingly, multiplex PCR are being used for respiratory virus detection, enabling the simultaneous detection of all significant respiratory viral targets. SMARTCHEK^® SARS-CoV-2/Flu/RSV Detection Kit is a reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction assay intended for diagnosis to respiratory infectious disease with GENECHECKER^® UF-300 / UF-340 real-time PCR platform.

This assay is containing COVID-19, Flu A&B, and RSV A&B specific primer pairs and can diagnose 5 main respiratory viruses infection in 40 minutes. This assay uses real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and TaqMan^® Probe chemistry to detect target genes. Through PCR process, target-specific sequences are amplified, and target-specific primers and probes combine with a single strand of cDNA and amplified using DNA polymerase enzymes included in the premix formulation. Real-time amplification curves are displayed on the GENECHECKER^® UF-300 / UF-340 real-time PCR platform by the method of monitoring fluorescence signals generated from the reporter dye on 5’ end of the probes after exonuclease activities.
