94315-9
LaboratorySARS-related coronavirus E gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Qualitative detection of nucleic acids within the envelope (E) gene of SARS-related coronavirus in various specimens, including lower & upper respiratory, serum, stool or urine, by nucleic acid amplification with probe-based detection. Various assays have been developed that contain primer-probe sets targeting the E gene. [https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/laboratory-guidance]
