Order the NovaSeq X Series
Advanced chemistry, optics, and informatics combine to deliver exceptional speed and data quality, outstanding throughput and scalability.
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.
COVIDSeq Test (RUO Version) is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay that enables researchers to detect and characterize novel variants of SARS-CoV-2.
The Illumina COVIDSeq Test (RUO version) accommodates 384 to 3072 samples, depending on throughput needs.
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.
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.
Assess lineage and annotate mutations with open software tools, including the Illumina DRAGEN COVID Lineage App in BaseSpace Sequence Hub.
