SARS-CoV-2 detection

The gold standard for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection is the detection of viral RNA in saliva samples or oral, pharyngeal, and nasal swabs by PCR/qPCR. The OMNIgene ORAL Kit OME-505 stabilizes SARS-CoV-2 RNA in collected saliva samples over several weeks at room temperature and allows home sample collection.

Detection of viral DNA/RNA

Stabilization of viral DNA and RNA after sample collection is important to obtain results of consistent quality and to avoid bias. The OME-505 kit (formerly OM-505) allows long storage time of up to three weeks at room temperature without loss of DNA or RNA quality.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection from saliva .

To determine whether SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reliably detected in saliva samples collected with OMNIgene-ORAL (OME-505) stored at room temperature, stability tests were performed on samples from 15 participants using an internally verified RUO assay optimized for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in saliva. Samples were spiked with heat-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 at two different concentrations depicting a low viral spike (500 cp/mL) and a high viral spike (2,500 cp/mL). Samples were stored at room temperature (23 ± 3°C) for 21 days and extracted at baseline and at the 7 and 21 day time points. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid gene (N1 and N2) was used to detect the stability of viral RNA by RT-qPCR. Samples with a cq value of <40 had detectable viral RNA. The human RNase P gene (RP) was included as a control for human nucleic acid detection.

Cq values for SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR targets N1, N2 (viral), and RNase P (human, RP) at day 0 (purple), day 7 (blue), and day 21 (orange) in low-positive (500 cp/ml, N = 15) and high-positive (2,500 cp/ml, N = 14) enriched saliva samples. The dotted line indicates the detection limit. If no amplification was detected, the cq was set to 45 (maximum cq) for visualization. Statistical significance was determined using a two-way ANOVA with Sidak test for multiple comparisons.

Colli-Pee® FV-5000 .

Colli-Pee® is a patented sampling device that allows volumetric and standardized collection of morning urine. The product range consists of variants that collect different volumes from 4 to 45 mL. The collection tubes can be pre-filled with a preservative, allowing for longer storage and/or shipment of urine at room temperature.

First urine contains higher concentrations of analytes associated with various sexually transmitted infections, including human papillomavirus (HPV) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) DNA. In addition, the collection of urine samples from the morning first stream is important for the identification of cancer biomarkers, e.g., for prostate cancer.
