COVID-19 is a widespread respiratory disease. At our company, we are committed to developing state-of-the-art IVD reagents/kits and diagnostic equipment to tackle the challenges in COVID-19 diagnosis. As your trusted partner in COVID-19 diagnostic research, we offer comprehensive solutions to meet all your scientific research needs effectively.
COVID-19, triggered by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has surfaced as a worldwide health emergency. The primary mode of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is through respiratory droplets released when infected individuals breathe, cough, talk, or sneeze. This virus predominantly affects the respiratory system by attaching to ACE2 receptors in the lungs, instigating inflammation that can result in pneumonia and severe respiratory complications.

The development of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tools for COVID-19 has been pivotal in the global response to the pandemic. These diagnostic tests are pivotal in swiftly and precisely detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus, facilitating effective disease control, transmission containment, and the enforcement of public health protocols.
Viral RNA Detection
PCR tests are considered the gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis, detecting viral RNA in respiratory samples. Viral RNA amplification is employed to validate the diagnosis. PCR tests are highly sensitive and specific, providing reliable results for confirming active infections.
Antigen Testing
Antigen tests detect specific proteins on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, such as the nucleocapsid protein (N protein) and the spike protein (S protein). These tests are rapid and cost-effective, providing swift results that are suitable for point-of-care settings.
Antibody Testing
Antibody tests detect the presence of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. These tests can aid in identifying previous exposure to the virus and evaluating immune response but are not appropriate for early detection of active infections.
In vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits play a critical role in identifying SARS-CoV-2. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to implementing appropriate therapeutics and public health interventions to curb the spread of the virus.
