MEANS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (SARS-COV-2)

摘要

The present invention relates to a PCR-method comprising conducting a simultaneous amplification step with at least primer nucleotide sequences for SARS-CoV-2 RdRP gene, at least primer nucleotide sequences for SARS-CoV-2 E gene and/or at least primer nucleotide sequences for human RNase P gene. Said PCR-method may further comprise a conducting an amplification step, preferably a simultaneous amplification step, with at least primer nucleotide sequences for a unique spike RNA. Also provided is a kit comprising primers and optionally probes to carry out the PCR-methods of the invention.
