There are two main methodologies that are suited to investigate COVID-19 infection, the RT-qPCR technology (molecular test) that detects the presence of the virus and the immunoassay technology (serological test) that detects antibodies produced in response to the coronavirus infection. Enzo Life Sciences is committed to providing our customers with the right tools and support for the development of an accurate and reliable test for COVID-19.

AMPIPROBE® SARS-CoV-2 Test System


The AMPIPROBE® SARS-CoV-2 Test System, which is comprised of the AMPIXTRACT SARS-CoV-2 Extraction Kit, the AMPIPROBE® SARS-CoV-2 Assay kit and the AMPIPROBE SARS-CoV-2 Controls Kit, is a multiplex assay system based on real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper respiratory specimens (such as nasal, mid-turbinate, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal swab specimens and nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate specimens) collected from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider. The AMPIPROBE SARS-CoV-2 Test System has been authorized by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). It is adaptable to different extraction methodologies and throughput including our proprietary GENFLEX® Platform, QIAsymphony® SP, and manual workflow.

Performance:

  • Sensitivity*: 96.2%
  • Specificity*: 98.0%
  • Time to results: 192 samples in one shift
*Percent agreements between the AMPIPROBE® Test System and an FDA-approved EUA test performed on nasopharyngeal swabs

Build Your Own COVID-19 Molecular Detection Assay

Another alternative solution for our customers is the ability to build their own molecular detection kit by combining our reagents for RT-PCR with primers of their choice.
Our AMPIGENE® 1-Step RT-PCR Kit uses the latest developments in reverse transcriptase (RT) technology and buffer chemistry for efficient cDNA synthesis and PCR in a single tube. An optimized buffer system allows efficient amplification, and proprietary enhancers prevent the formation of primer dimers, to increase sensitivity and specificity.

  • Convenient one tube reaction (cDNA synthesis and qPCR in a single tube)
  • Thermostable and extremely active RTase
  • For dye-based and probe-based qPCR applications
  • Flexible: can be adapted to a variety of platforms
  • 200 and 1000 reactions formats available

We offer this product as a dye-based kit or as a probe-based kit. In both cases, our customers are only required to provide specific SARS-CoV-2 primers or SARS-CoV-2 labelled probes, respectively, to build a complete COVID-19 detection kit.

COVID-19 Serological Detection



While molecular tests serve as the frontline diagnostic tool to monitor SARS-CoV-2 active infections, serological tests are used to detect antibodies that are being produced by the immune system in response to the viral infection. Due to the delay between infection, symptomatic onset, and presence of antibodies, serological tests serve to diagnose past infections and assess an immune response.




SARS-CoV-2 IgG ELISA Kit

Our SARS-CoV-2 IgG ELISA Kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) designed for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 in human serum samples. Formatted in a 96-well microplate (12 x 8 well strips), the assay is easily adapted for either automated open platforms or manual workflows. Designed for accurate and sensitive detection, the indirect ELISA has a two-step binding process involving a specific SARS-CoV-2 antigen and an HRP conjugated anti-human IgG secondary antibody.

Performance

  • Specificity*: 96.5%
  • Sensitivity*: 100%
  • Time to results: < 2 hrs

Easily Adaptable
  • Adaptable to automated open platforms and to manual processing

Build Your Own SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM ELISA Kits


Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is one of the most reliable methods for detecting blood-borne anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies of both IgM and IgG subclasses, which the body may have generated to fight the disease. Here, we highlight a list of COVID-19 related antigens and buffers that are needed for the development of ELISAs that detect anti-COVID-19 antibodies.


COVID-19 and Coronavirus-Related Antigens


The right antigens are key in any immunogenic or serologic detection assay. We offer a variety of SARS-CoV-2 antigens as well as SARS-, MERS-CoV, and other coronaviral antigens to determine cross-reactivity or develop pan-coronavirus assays.
