Application

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.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, TANBead provides a series of viral nucleic acid extraction reagent kits, as well as automatic nucleic acid extraction instruments with different throughputs. This provides clinical laboratories, medical institutes, government health agencies, academic research institutions, and test reagent R&D teams, with multiple nucleic acid extraction options that can be selected to meet their needs, and improve daily detection capacity and disease research progress, so as to be ready for the next wave of pandemic due to rapid mutation of the virus.

Advantages of the TANBead Nucleic Acid Reagent Kits are:

- Fast and high-throughput extraction time: Extract nucleic acids from 96 samples in as little as 15 minutes, increasing the daily detection capacity.

- Complete and high-quality nucleic acid products: Pure and free of interfering substances, which can be directly applied to RT-PCR/ qPCR/ next generation sequencing.

- Good extraction efficiency: It can extract virus with low copy number from samples and concentrate the product.

TANBead Nucleic Acid Reagent Kits can be applied to:

- Medical diagnosis and notification

- Public health and academic research
