HiFiViral SARS-CoV-2: A Kitted Solution for Genome Surveillance that is Robust Across Sample Input Quantities and New Variants

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a major global epidemiological challenge with the ongoing emergence of new strain lineages that are more contagious, more virulent, drug resistant and in some cases evade vaccine-induced immunity. In response, the HiFiViral SARS-CoV-2 kit (PacBio; Menlo Park, California) was developed as a scalable solution for the Sequel II and Sequel IIe systems. The HiFiViral SARS-CoV-2 is an easy to perform solution for surveillance of variants to support pandemic response by public health. With 80% of samples yielding complete genome coverage in a 96-plex run, the combination of long read lengths and a differentiated probe design provides highly accurate results and robust genome coverage across a range of Ct values.
