Overview

The Illumina Rapid Respiratory Virus Enrichment Kit provides an effective, streamlined method for detecting common respiratory viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/B. The Rapid kit uses a single tube reaction prep to increase workflow efficiency, with an assay time of approximately 6.5 hours and less than 1.5 hour hours of hands-on time.1

Key features

  • Understand variant analysis for viral evolution or viral surveillance

  • Determine viral transmission patterns and predict resurgence

  • Identify and characterize co-infections and their role in complex diseases

Target enrichment for respiratory virus detection

Target enrichment through the hybrid–capture method allows for highly sensitive detection without requiring the high read depth needed for shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Additionally, this method allows for dramatically larger probe panels for comprehensive profiling compared to amplicon sequencing while producing whole-genome sequencing data for the targeted viruses.

Streamlined solution for viral applications

This comprehensive workflow integrates library preparation, target enrichment, sequencing, and data analysis, giving researchers and public health scientists the ability to monitor multiple viruses and variants with one workflow. This kit uses a single tube reaction that simplifies the workflow and reduces cleanup steps, potentially improving detection of low-frequency targets.

FAQ

The Rapid version uses a single tube library prep that significantly shortens the hands-on time and assay time compared to the standard version.1 The oligo panel and viruses it detects are the same in both the standard and Rapid versions. The standard version includes a 96-sample index plate. The plate is sold separately for the Rapid version, allowing maximum flexibility in run planning.

The Rapid Respiratory Virus Enrichment Kit supports a broad range of sample sources, including formalin-fixed, nasal swabs, nasal washes, and wastewater samples.1

Yes, because this kit uses hybridization-based enrichment and contains probes for over 40 different viruses, multiple viruses can be detected. Learn more about the detection and characterization of respiratory viruses using the Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment.

The Illumina Rapid Respiratory Virus Enrichment Kit includes free usage of the DRAGEN Microbial Enrichment Plus, which analyzes pathogen data and generate consensus sequences.
