Avacta’s Rapid Antigen Test Is Confirmed to Detect SARS-CoV-2 New Variants
Some of these variants are more infectious, and therefore more rapidly transmissible, and have the potential to become dominant strains.
- Some of these variants are more infectious, and therefore more rapidly transmissible, and have the potential to become dominant strains.
- Avacta has carried out analytical tests with the spike proteins isolated from both the B117 and D614G variants, and has confirmed that its AffiDX SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen lateral flow test detects both of these variants as well as the original strain.
- We will continue to monitor the performance of the Affimer reagents with future dominant variants as they become available to us.
