COVIDSeq Test (RUO Version)

This high-throughput NGS assay enables labs to detect SARS-CoV-2 mutations to identify and track the emergence and prevalence of novel variants.

This product is available for Research Use Only (RUO). An in vitro diagnostic version of this product is available for use in Japan, Philippines, and the US under each country's respective authorizing agency. 

Overview

COVIDSeq Test (RUO Version) is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay that enables researchers to detect and characterize novel variants of SARS-CoV-2.

  • Detects genome of SARS-CoV-2 RNA using ARTIC v3 primers 

  • Reports consensus sequence when ≥ 90 amplicons detected

  • Supports a seamless and flexible end-to-end workflow 

Rapid and scalable sequencing

The Illumina COVIDSeq Test (RUO version) accommodates 384 to 3072 samples, depending on throughput needs. 

Uniform genome coverage

Coverage is particularly focused on the spike protein locus. For detailed sequencing, the optional ARTIC v4 primer pool provides in-depth characterization of new variants. 

Integrated solution

The kit includes all reagents needed for cDNA conversion, amplification, and library prep. A 63°C annealing temperature during PCR improves variant analysis and insights. 

Streamlined data analysis

Assess lineage and annotate mutations with open software tools, including the Illumina DRAGEN COVID Lineage App in BaseSpace Sequence Hub.
