COVID-19 TESTING SOLUTIONS
Zymo Research has supported global COVID-19 testing efforts since the beginning of the pandemic with sample collection reagents, viral extraction kits, and COVID-19 tests. In addition to a FDA EUA RT-PCR workflow, and the first 510(k)-cleared transport medium for COVID-19 testing, we also offer unique services for SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking.
510(k)-Cleared Transport Medium for COVID-19 Testing
DNA/RNA Shield Collection Tube w/ Swab

The DNA/RNA Shield collection tube is intended for the stabilization and inactivation of upper and lower respiratory human specimens suspected of containing SARS-CoV-2.

Track and monitor COVID-19 outbreaks in your community at scale, without the costs and resources needed for individual testing.

Forecast COVID-19 testing resources and spend, based on trends.

Viral RNA in wastewater can be found up to 10 days before symptomatic cases appear, giving you a head start on controlling outbreaks.

Viral surveillance in wastewater also accounts for asymptomatic cases, many of which would not typically receive a rRT-PCR test.
FAQ
The FDA has recently granted Zymo 510(k) clearance for the DNA/RNA Shield collection tube as a class II medical device, intended for the stabilization and inactivation of upper and lower respiratory human specimens suspected of containing SARS-CoV-2.
Additionally, several of Zymo products have been authorized by the FDA for emergency use (Emergency Use Authorization) during the COVID-19 pandemic. These include the DNA/RNA Shield collection tube w/ swab, DNA/RNA Shield saliva/sputum collection kit, Quick-DNA/RNA Viral MagBead Extraction Kit for sample extraction and the Quick SARS-CoV-2 rRT-PCR Test Kit for the sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in respiratory samples.
Zymo products (sample collection devices and viral extraction kits) are also available as a CE marked in Vitro diagnostic device (CE-IVD) and have been commercialized in the European Union and other applicable countries.
