At the *BioSpectrum Asia Excellence Award 2022 held in Singapore on December 2, Seegene's Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2 Assay won the Product of Year 2022 award.
Seegene, which fought against the
ever-changing COVID-19 during the global pandemic (2020-2021), has been
striving to develop molecular diagnostic products, including the early stages
of the new coronavirus beginning and until now when many variants have
appeared.
As a result of a quick response in the early
stages of COVID-19 beginning, we succeeded in developing a product that can
detect four target genes simultaneously which are RdRp, S, and N genes for
SARS-CoV-2 and E gene of all sarbecoviruses.
The assay
provides results within 2 hours after extraction, with high sensitivity and
specificity. The product development is based on Seegene’s proprietary MuDT™ technology, reporting individual Ct value of multiple targets in a single
channel.
Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2 Assay has been tested in more than 65 countries over 330 million times during the two years of the global pandemic.
