Innovative, Timely, and Quality
SERVICES
Innovative, Timely, and Quality real-time PCR (qPCR) is the gold standard for precise quantification of target nucleic acids.
At VRS, we provide qPCR services for viral detection and quantification, determination of viral copy number, drug/treatment response, gene expression analysis, relative and absolute quantification, mutation analysis, and genotyping.
Plate - Based RT-PCR
Performance evaluation involves comparison of the assay under evaluation and a reference assay.
The panel consists of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs of known SARS-CoV-2 RT qPCR results, of sufficient volume for further testing and appropriately stored in -800C. A minimum of 30 positives and 30 negatives are typically included in each sample panel.
Extraction of RNA material from sample panels is carried out using either commercially available: 1) spin column-based extraction kits or 2) magnetic bead-based extraction kits.
