COVID-19 global pandemic
"At the end of 2019, Coronavirus disease 2019 (as known as COVID-19) broke out, and then WHO declared this outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020. So far, the prevalence of COVID-19 has not yet subsided.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the family of Coronaviridae. They are a group of single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses with envelope and are zoonotic infectious viruses. SARS-CoV-2 may be transmitted through contact with patients, droplets, aerosols, feces, direct or indirect contact with pathogens, etc.
TANBead Viral Nucleic Acid Extraction Reagent Kits (615, 635, 665 and 685 series) can rapidly and effectively extract and purify high-quality viral nucleic acid products from swab, serum/plasma, sputum and other different types of samples without additional pre-processing, and can be used in the diagnosis of COVID-19. Since 2020, TANBead provided viral nucleic acid extraction reagent kits to the CDC and hospitals to assist in the diagnosis of COVID-19, which has received very good responses, not only in Taiwan but also around the world.
