SARS-CoV-2 Variant SA/BR/UK kit enables multiplex detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA (Wuhan coronavirus 2019) in RdRp gene and simultaneously the detection of mutations A570D and E484K in S gene. The A570D mutation occurs exclusively in lineage B.1.1.7 (a.k.a 20I/501Y.V1) referred to as the British variant. The E484K is an escape mutation that causes reduced binding of neutralizing antibodies against spike protein and occurs most frequently in lineages B.1.351 (a.k.a 501Y.V2) referred to as the South African variant and lineage P.1 (a.k.a 501Y.V3) referred to as the Brazilian variant. False negativity is checked by exogenous positive control with artificial sequence. The test is based on a one-step RT-qPCR methodology. The kit contains all the necessary components to perform the test.
