RealStar^® MERS-CoV (N-gene) RT-PCR Kit 1.0 is now CE-IVD marked

The RealStar^® MERS-CoV (N-gene) RT-PCR Kit 1.0 is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the  detection of N gene specific RNA of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV).

This kit was developed to confirm results gained by the usage of RealStar^® MERS-CoV RT-PCR Kit 1.0 if necessary. The WHO proposed to utilize N genes as a target sequence to complement NAT assays for screening and confirmation, which target the highly sensitive genes upstream of the E protein gene (upE) and/or the open reading frame 1a (ORF 1a) as our RealStar^® MERS-CoV RT-PCR Kit 1.0 does.
