CDC Diagnostic Multiplex Assay for Flu and COVID-19 from IDT
The CDC Influenza SARS-CoV-2 (Flu SC2) Multiplex Assay is an RT-PCR test that detects and differentiates RNA from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A virus, and influenza B virus in upper or lower respiratory specimens. The assay provides a sensitive, nucleic-acid-based diagnostic tool for evaluation of specimens from patients in the acute phase of infection.
The primers & probes for the Flu SC2 assay are now available from IDT.

2019-nCoV Charité/Berlin Primer Probe Panel
On January 23, 2020 collaborators from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin Institute of Virology, German Centre for Infection Research, Tib-Molbiol, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, and many other entities designed an assay and published a RT-PCR protocol for the detection of 2019-nCoV (now known as SARS-CoV-2) [1]. "The Berlin Panel” detects the RdRp and E genes to positively identify SARS-CoV-2. IDT provides primers and probes for this assay for the detection of the virus. Primers and probes are manufactured at IDT under ISO 13485:2016. The kits include primers and 5’ FAM - ZEN™/Iowa Black® FQ probes.
