Luminex SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay

The ARIES® System from Luminex Corporation is a sample-to-answer PCR instrument that can run Laboratory Developed Tests (LDT). The assays below are real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) assays for detection of SARS-CoV-2 using primer and probe sequences published by the China National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC) on the ARIES® System. The Luminex SARS-CoV-2 assay detects the Orf1ab, HKU-N, RP, and N genes to positively identify SARS-CoV-2.  IDT provides primers and probes for this assay for the detection of the virus.  Primers and probes are manufactured at IDT under ISO 13485:2016.  The kits include primers and double quenched ZEN™/Iowa Black® probes.
