Description
Monitor the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the emergence of new variants with KAPA SARS-CoV-2 Target Enrichment Panel. Sequence viral genomes from fresh or degraded (e.g., wastewater) samples with a panel targeting 100% of the reference SARS-CoV-2 genome (NC_045512) and >99.7% of another 183 publicly available SARS-CoV-2 genomes (GenBank).
- Attain more uniform genomic coverage compared to ARTIC v3 amplicon sequencing method
- Reduce hybridization time to 1 hour while retaining the benefits of hybridization-based target enrichment
- Reach >1X coverage of >97% of the SARS-CoV-2 genome down to 1000 viral copies
- Identify multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 in a single reaction
