The PHASIFY™ DeCOVID SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Kit is a RT-qPCR kit for detecting SARS-CoV-2 from human respiratory specimens. Developed in collaboration with Prof. Leo Poon, one of the world's leading scientists in emerging viruses at the University of Hong Kong, the PHASIFY™ DeCOVID kit is a multiplex RT-qPCR detecting two specific sequences in the ORF1b region of SARS-CoV-2 in a single reaction together with human RNase P housekeeping gene as the internal control.

Data / Performance
PHASIFY™ DeCOVID demonstrated superior performance in detecting ORF-1b targets when compared to BGI’s FDA EUA RT-PCR Kit. When PHASIFY™ DeCOVID is combined with our PHASIFY™ VIRAL RNA extraction kit, the limit of detection of SARS-CoV-2 is further improved to as low as 10 cp / mL
I. Reduced Ct value against industry leading brand (BGI)
Figure 1 - SARS-CoV-2 virus in swab was extracted in the concentrations of 200, 500, 1000 and 5000 cp / mL using Qiagen Viral Mini RNA extraction kit. The virus RNA was amplified and detected using the multiplex PHASIFY™ DeCOVID SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Kit or BGI qPCR Kit respectively. LoD for PHASIFY™ DeCOVID and BGI is 200 cp / mL and 500 cp / mL in swab specimen respectively

II. Increased screening sensitivity with the use of PHASIFY™ VIRAL
Figure 2 - SARS-CoV-2 virus in swab was extracted in the concentrations of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 cp / mL using PHASIFY™ VIRAL RNA extraction kit. The virus RNA was amplified and detected using the multiplex PHASIFY™ DeCOVID SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Kit. LoD is 10 cp /mL in oropharyngeal swab specimen.
