ITALY, Torino, August, 2nd, 2021. ELITechGroup is pleased to announce the CE mark for use of saliva on SARS-CoV-2 ELITe MGB® Kit. The collection of saliva matrix is less invasive for SARS-CoV-2 detection than nasopharyngeal swabs and will permit to address different needs starting from repeated screening in various settings such as schools and workplaces.
'ELITechGroup is constantly committed to improving both test quality and sample matrices collected. For this reason, we identified the use of saliva for SARS-CoV-2 as crucial for reopening schools and community life' says Roberto Meda, Vice President MDx ELITechGroup.
The CE-IVD marked Kit detecting SARS-CoV-2 and validated on nasopharyngeal, nasal and oropharyngeal swabs has been released on September 2020 on the Sample-to Result-Platform ELITe InGenius® and on major PCR thermocyclers as well.
