COVID-19 Research Tools 

Complete, automated SARS-CoV-2 PCR detection workflows

The recent outbreak of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has highlighted the need for technologies to support rapid, high-throughput testing of biological samples. PerkinElmer enables labs to maintain sample integrity and avoid cross contamination of SARS-CoV-2 PCR samples by providing validated, modular and scalable, automated workflow solutions. These solutions provide high quality nucleic acid extraction, automation with flexible throughput, and full traceability.

Protect Your Workforce by Minimizing the Risk of Laboratory-acquired COVID-19 Infection During High Volume Processing

Laboratories need to take appropriate measures to contain potentially infectious materials and prevent secondary infections. The first step of a PCR-based virus detection workflow, nucleic acid isolation, has the highest risk of exposing laboratory employees to pathogens. Reducing manual contact for this step is essential to reduce the risk of laboratory-acquired infection during processing.

PCR Assays for Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Detection

The following workflow can be used with the PerkinElmer® New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection kit, or any other 2019-nCoV PCR assay.
