- The NeuMoDx MPXV Test Strip currently for research use only (RUO) is a multiplex test that identifies both clades (variants) of monkeypox.
- The NeuMoDx assay extracts DNA from lesion fluid swabs to isolate the target nucleic acids and then conducts a real-time polymerase chain reaction.
- QIAGEN has been working with healthcare authorities around the world since the global monkeypox outbreak began this spring to contribute its broad testing portfolio and expertise as a trusted partner in an urgent global health response.
- QIAGEN this summer launched the QIAstat-Dx Viral Vesicular Panel RUO, the worlds first syndromic test, for research use only, to differentiate between monkeypox and five other pathogens that cause similar symptoms.
