Thermo Scientific™ Renvo™ SARS-CoV-2 Test Kit

Descrizione

This product has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.

The Renvo™ SARS-CoV-2 Test is performed on environmental air samples from the Thermo Scientific™ AerosolSense™ Sampler. The test's patented PCR technology enables rapid exponential amplification while reducing overall thermocycling times.

Intended use: For environmental surveillance use only and not for diagnostic purposes.

Contents:

• Buffer (25): single-use vial of solution containing 5 mL of buffer with dimethyl sulfoxide and < 0.01% sodium azide
• SARS-CoV-2 test cassette (25): single-use, foil-pouched with desiccant and test cassette containing lyophilized reagents for the targeted amplification and detection of viral nucleic acid
• Cartridge adapter (25): Single-use plastic assembly, which is threaded to the AerosolSense Sample Cartridge for elution and testing of AerosolSense Sample Cartridge collection substrate.
• SARS-CoV-2 high positive, low positive and negative control swab* (1 each): DNA-based synthetic oligo dried onto a swab above the limit of detection of the test or buffer solution dried onto a swab.

**Not included: Reusable dock, power cord, stand

• Rapid results: SARS-CoV-2 results in 30 minutes
• Comparable sensitivity and accuracy to standard lab-based PCR
• Small, portable, easy to use design
• Simple workflow:
• Collect sample from AerosolSense Sampler
• Elute sample
• Load sample
• Read results

Oscillating Amplification Reaction (Oscar™), proprietary PCR technology, enables rapid exponential amplification while reducing overall thermocycling times. The Renvo SARS-CoV-2 Test is a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in approximately 30 minutes. To perform the test, the user inserts a Renvo™ SARS-CoV-2 test cassette into the Renvo Dock™, which detects and identifies the cassette. Then the AerosolSense™ sample cartridge (containing the air sample) is added to the SARS-CoV-2 buffer to elute the sample. An aliquot of the SARS-CoV-2 buffer containing the sample is then dispensed into the Renvo SARS-CoV-2 test cassette.

The test cassette contains internal process positive and negative controls, Oscar™ reagents and a detection strip necessary for the full completion of the assay. After the user loads the sample into the test cassette and closes the Renvo Dock lid, embedded firmware in the dock controls fluid flow of the sample into the various chambers of the cassette, applies controlled voltage signals to the various cassette heaters (monitored by sensors within the dock) and provides visual status to the user with critical information, such as estimated time to read results.
