The ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks underscore the importance of SARS-CoV-2 variant detection and tracking

As the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to spread and evolve, notably SARS-CoV-2 variants such as Delta, Delta Plus, Alpha that increase the transmissibility and decrease the effectiveness of diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics have caused surges in global COVID-19 cases.

To strengthen actions in epidemical control regarding the SARS-CoV-2 variants, WHO has classified them into 'Variants of Concern (VOC)' or 'Variants of Interest (VOI)' with a series of actions and measures.

Under such circumstances, a leading IVD raw materials and one-stop solution organization, Fapon Biotech, introduced the GRASPlex SARS-CoV-2 Full Length Genome Panel for SARS-CoV-2 known and emerging variant detection, virus source identification, mutation monitoring, study virus evolution, and others.
