While promising vaccines are beginning to roll out, it will take time for enough people to be vaccinated to reach a threshold sufficient to slow the spread of the virus. It is critical to continue to maintain surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 at a community or population level to identify the incidence and prevalence of the occurrence. This data analysis is essential to planning, implementing, and maintaining practices to keep people safe.

The TaqCheck SARS-CoV-2 Fast PCR Assay makes it easy to process samples. Using raw saliva samples, the test is easy to use and requires no special devices or techniques. Each kit can test up to 1,200 samples using a format that makes it simple for a lab to process and analyze data quickly.

Test frequently and often

The frequency with which you test depends on many factors, including test positivity rate, the size of the community, your community’s tolerance for disease outbreak, operational capabilities, and budget. CDC recommendations (1) and analytical modeling studies (2,3) provide further information that may help you develop a strategy that works best for your community.

Gold-standard PCR testing offers trusted results

The TaqCheck SARS-CoV-2 Fast PCR Assay uses trusted PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology, a scientific methodology that can detect the genetic information of the novel coronavirus, even at low levels. Simply no other type of test can provide answers as definitively as PCR.

Coronavirus testing with the TaqCheck SARS-CoV-2 Fast PCR Assay is affordable

Because the TaqCheck SARS-CoV-2 Fast PCR Assay is easy to use and scalable, it costs significantly less than other methods. By eliminating the need for expensive collection devices and extraction instruments, and minimizing staffing requirements and use of supplies and safety equipment, TaqCheck testing offers a lower total price per sample than other methods.
