As one of the leading companies in Europe, PentaBase has developed a new fast Real-Time PCR analysis that can detect the more infectious variants of the SARS-CoV-2.

PentaBase is monitoring the COVID-19 situation and developing assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants
PentaBase’s assays are In Vitro Diagnostic assays for the detection of mutations found in SARS-CoV-2 and other variants. COVID-19 Mutation RT-PCR diagnostic assays are real-time RT (reverse transcriptase) PCR assays intended for the detection of genetic variations from positive SARS-CoV-2 samples.
Our CoviDetect™ Variants and CoviDetect™ 4-Plex can detect the variants elaborated down below.

Variants of Concern (VOC)
Variants of Interest (VOI)
Variants under Monitoring (VUM)
PentaBase works with an open-platform system enabling use with most standard Real-Time PCR equipment
The CoviDetect™ Variants are designed and validated to be used on open Real-Time PCR platforms and equipment such as BaseTyper™ (PentaBase PCR instrument), Biorad CFX, and Thermo Fisher Scientific QuantStudio5.
Most common fluorophores for our open-platform equipment:
FAM
VIC, HEX, TET, JOE
ROX, Texas Red
Cy5

Provided for you
The assays are provided in both simplex and Multiplex formats. CoviDetect™ COVID-19 Mutation RT-PCR assays are supplied as either Dispense-Ready (DR) or Ready-To-Use (RTU) versions. The technology applies to several well dispersed real-time PCR instruments as well as PentaBase’s own portfolio of instruments with the use of standard procedures.

PentaBase helps Denmark fight COVID-19 through fast detection of infection and close monitoring of the development of SARS-CoV-2 mutations. Our experience demonstrates that the key to controlling the spread of infection and helping the fight against COVID-19 is through faster and more sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 and relevant variants. With our CoviDetect™ COVID-19 Mutation RT-PCR Assays, genetic variations from positive SARS-CoV-2 samples can be detected quickly, sensitively, and selectively by real-time RT-PCR followed by a DNA melt analysis.
PentaBase is ready to test for all types of mutations as soon as they pose a risk to our society, and we welcome any inquiries for the development of new COVID-19 mutation assays.
Need to get tested for SARS-CoV-2 variants?
PentaBase is ready to test for all types of mutations as soon as they pose a risk to our society. All positive samples are tested for all variants in order to help understand and screen for mutations. Get tested at PentaBase, and have your positive sample tested for variants on the same day or within 24 hours.
