Covid-19 diagnostics using a newly developed test – AUMED test RT-LAMP Assay SARS-CoV-2

kit aktuality

AUMED a.s. is involved in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. In cooperation with Protean s.r.o. and Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine, AUMED a.s. launched a modern diagnostics of SARS-CoV-2 virus under the name AUMED test RT-LAMP Assay SARS-CoV-2. It is a diagnostic using the RT – LAMP Assay method. The test uses the so-called LAMP reaction, which is isothermal amplification of nucleic acids. Unlike the polymerase chain reaction (PCR, qPCR), in which the reaction is performed using temperature cycles, isothermal amplification is performed at a constant temperature so there is no require for any expensive equipment. The results are reliably read based on the color change with the naked eye.

The kit is fully validated. The functional evaluation was successfully performed by the Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine in Olomouc. Comparison of the kit with the reference RT-PCR assay determined the sensitivity of the assay to be 93% and specificity to 99%. The kit passed all tested parameters and was recommended for use. We have fully prepared production capacity, mass production of the set has started. It is a completely Czech product without dependence on foreign suppliers.

Classical tests are time consuming. That is why we are coming to the market with the AUMED test RT-LAMP Assay SARS-CoV-2, which will facilitate the monitoring of infected people even in smaller or mobile laboratories.
