The application of a novel 5-in-1 multiplex reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction assay for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 and differentiation between variants of concern

ABSTRACT: Objectives: We have established a novel 5-in-1 VOC assay to rapidly detect SARS-CoV-2 and immediately distinguish whether positive samples represent variants of concern (VOCs). Methods: This assay could distinguish among five VOCs: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, in a single react...
