ViroKey SQ FLEX Genotyping Assay

Flexibility for virology, combine up to 4 assays (HIV-1, HCV, HBV, CMV) in one NGS run

DESCRIPTION

The ViroKey® SQ FLEX Genotyping Assay (4x16) is a next generation sequencing-based test intended for the detection of genomic mutations of the Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) that confer resistance to specific types of antiviral drugs from human plasma / serum. Up to 4 tests can be performed in one NGS run.

The  ViroKey SQ FLEX Genotyping Assay (4x16) is used in conjunction with the Sentosa® SX Virus Total Nucleic Acid Plus (4x24) as well as the Sentosa SQ 318 Chip Kits, Sentosa ST Template Kits and the Sentosa SQ Sequencing Kits on the Sentosa SX101, Sentosa ST401 and Sentosa SQ301 instruments.
