Zymo Research’s COVID-19 Test Kit Cleared in Europe

Zymo Research’s Quick SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test has earned a CE mark in Europe.

The molecular test, which previously received an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA, uses upper and lower respiratory samples to detect the presence of the coronavirus.

The test kit includes ready-to-use reaction mixtures that reduce the hands-on time and the chance for human errors, producing results in less than 90 minutes.
