BioCodeĀ® CoV-2 Flu Plus Assay

The BioCode® CoV-2 Flu Plus Assay provides rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A/B, and RSV in one test.

The BioCode® CoV-2 Flu Plus Assay is a molecular assay based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of RNA from SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and/or Respiratory Syncytial Virus A/B (RSV) in nasopharyngeal swabs. 

It can be run as an independent assay or in parallel with our FDA-cleared BioCode® Respiratory Pathogen Panel for a more complete respiratory infection profile of patients.
