July 2022—Seegene has developed a PCR test to detect monkeypox virus. The Novaplex MPXV assay, for research use only, was developed using the company’s AI-based automated test development system and can identify positive cases of the monkeypox virus in 90 minutes.

The company announced in a separate release that its Allplex SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV assay has obtained EU approval. The assay can detect six targets, including three distinct COVID-19 genes (S, RdRp, N), associated with the four respiratory viruses and includes two internal controls. The test can deliver results within two hours when extraction-free and runs on the company’s fully automated All-in-One system.
