Yourgene Health 18.5p £115.5m (LON:YGEN)
The international molecular diagnostics group, announces that it has achieved CE-IVD marking for its Clarigene
SARS-CoV-2 in vitro diagnostic kit, for diagnostic use. The CE-IVD version of the Clarigene SARS-CoV-2 test will be used in Yourgene's high throughput COVID-19 service lab in Manchester and will allow Yourgene to provide corporate partners and healthcare settings, such as care homes and private GP practices, with a fast and reliable COVID-19 lab testing service.
The Clarigene SARS-CoV-2 CE-IVD test is a RT-qPCR (real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction) assay which detects the presence of SARS CoV-2 viral RNA. The assay uses two viral RNA targets, nucleocapsid gene ('N') and envelope gene ('E'), which are SARS-CoV-2 specific and this prevents any cross reactivity with other Coronaviruses. The use of dual viral targets and assay controls provides a more reliable result, whilst also making it more desirable across several European regions which require the dual viral targets for reimbursement.
