Seegene Inc. is 1.7 million Allplex SARS-CoV-2 Master Assays and associated consumables, which can detect the Omicron variant.
According to clinical research in a South African lab, the test results using Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2 Master Assay matched 100% with the results drawn out from additional sequencing, confirming that the test can accurately detect Omicron.
This is the second emergency shipment to Israel; the first was in April 2020. This time, the plane was hired Seegene's Israeli partner, HY Laboratories, as they look to support the country's current demand.
