Overview

The Viral Surveillance Panel v2 Kit allows researchers to obtain whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data that can characterize a wide-range of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, arboviruses, and hepatitis.

  • Coverage of more than 200 viruses identified as high-risk to public health 

  • Concurrent enrichment for RNA and DNA viruses 

  • Compatible with a range of samples, including wastewater, environmental, and post-clinical 

Target enrichment for virus detection

Target enrichment through a hybrid–capture method allows for WGS of multiple viruses, without requiring the high read depth needed for shotgun metagenomic sequencing, providing insight to viral evolution and broad viral surveillance.1 Additionally, as compared to other targeted resequencing methods, such as amplicon sequencing, hybrid–capture provides greater ability to capture, sequence and identify mutations, making it ideal for outbreak surveillance of rapidly evolving viruses.

Streamlined solution for viral applications

This comprehensive workflow integrates library preparation, target enrichment, sequencing, and data analysis, allowing researchers and public health scientists the ability to monitor multiple high-risk viruses with one panel/workflow.

Read counts and viral genome coverage gains

Compared to shotgun metagenomic sequencing, where all RNA/DNA is sequenced, targeted hybrid–capture reduces unnecessary sequencing of host and nontargeted microbes.

Uniform viral genome coverage

Target enrichment probes in the Viral Surveillance Panel v2 Kit provide uniform coverage of whole virus genomes. Virus controls were prepared by mixing virus controls at known copy numbers with 10 ng human RNA/DNA mix. Libraries were prepared and sequenced following the Viral Surveillance Panel v2 Kit workflow.

 

Wastewater surveillance

Viruses detected in wastewater using Viral Surveillance Panel v2 Kit or shotgun sequencing.a Samples with low viral concentrations are easily detectable when using the Viral Surveillance Panel v2 Kit.
