For targeted coronavirus testing in moderate-complexity labs
The ARIES® SARS-CoV-2 Assay is a real time RT-PCR-based in vitro diagnostic test that qualitatively detects SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) samples in UTM™, Liquid Amies (ESwab™), or equivalent.
The ARIES® SARS‑CoV‑2 Assay (CE-IVD) offers:
Fully Integrated Testing: Automate all aspects of testing, from sample preparation through analysis, in a self-contained cassette.
Flexible Throughput: In two hours, process from 1 to 12 tests per batch; both STAT testing and medium volume sample batching are supported.
A Versatile Portfolio: With a growing portfolio of cassette-ready assays and the tools to create laboratory developed tests (LDTs),* ARIES® Systems deliver reliable detection for a wide range of testing needs.
Reliable Performance: In addition to sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 through the ORF1ab and N gene targets, a sample processing control included in the cassette confirms result validity.
Performance
A limit of detection (LoD) study was performed to evaluate the analytical sensitivity of the ARIES® SARS-CoV-2 Assay using one strain of SARS-CoV-2, isolate USA-WA1/2020.
The confirmed ARIES SARS-CoV-2 Assay LoD concentration is 3.00 x 103 GCE/mL.
Workflow
Step 1
Load the sample into the cassette.
Step 2
Insert up to six cassettes into the magazine.
Step 3
Insert one or both magazines into the instrument.
Step 4
Review & release results.
