SAVD detekterer også den indiske mutanten

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 continues, like other viruses, to mutate. We continually receive information about new variants that affect not only the course of Covid-19 disease, but also its frequency.

Several thousand mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have already been discovered. Changes most often occur in surface proteins, which determine how the virus is recognised by the organism it attacks.

The manufacturer is certified and continuously monitors scientific reports on changes in the SARS-CoV-2 virus to ensure the highest possible test quality.

The most frequently detected mutations currently are:

• B.1.1.7 (United Kingdom)
• B.1.351 (South Africa)
• B.1.1.28 (Brazil P1, P2)
• B.1.617 (India)

Our research has shown that regardless of which mutation is involved, the SAVD, FRANKD and RT-PCR test reagents will detect infections with reliable accuracy.
