CDI Labs Announces the Addition of Its SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) Assay Platform

CDI Laboratories, Inc. announced the addition of its SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) assay platform.  The assays use CDI's VirScan service which can detect antibodies to 1345 individual viral strains representing species from 76 viral genera. This is coupled with CDI's 2 in 1 SARS-CoV-2 antigen microarray which contains overlapping SARS-CoV-2 peptides as well as full-length proteins. This will allow researchers, therapeutic developers, and vaccine developers, to analyze human serum for all known viruses as well as epitope level data on COVID19 antibodies. In addition, CDI has added the COVID19 S and N proteins to CDI's HuProtTM proteome microarray. CDI's VirScan is the first commercial use of the incredibly powerful PhIP-seq technology (Xu, George J et al. SARS-COV-2 "Viral immunology.
