Eurofins Environment Testing adds Omicron variant detection
capabilities to its commercially available SARS-CoV-2 test
portfolio. The Omicron variant has been identified as a ‘variant of
concern’ by the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the high
number of mutations in the spike protein and indications of high
transmissibility.
The monitoring of wastewater, environmental surface, air and
worn mask testing, available as part of the Eurofins COVID-19
Sentinel™ and SAFER@WORK™ programs, provides an early warning of
the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants amongst large
populations or at a given site. This provides crucial information
for monitoring viral spread and allows for relevant containment
measures to be put in place to avoid an outbreak of the disease
even before symptom onset.
Eurofins Environment Testing is able to detect all known
SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater, air, environmental surfaces and
worn masks. Utilizing single point mutations in RT-qPCR, the
currently dominant Delta variant can be distinguished from other
variants including the new Omicron variant.
