We are pleased to announce our latest publication.

The sensitivity and specificity test of Innocreate Bioscience WSSV RP rapid test kit - Diagnostic performance of a Rapid Test Kit for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) on Aquaculture (IF=5.135. Ranked 5/54 in FISHERIES, and 8/113 in MARINE & FRESHWATER BIOLOGY).

Highlights

1. The commercial WSSV RP Rapid Test Kit tested by shrimp and compared with QPCR method shows high sensitivity （99.21%） and specificity (100%).

2. The WSSV RP Rapid Test Kit does not require any equipment, and the test results can be obtained in 15–30 min.

3. This rapid test kit can be transported and stored at room temperature, and the cost is lower than PCR-based tests.

4. This kit can be used to estimate the prevalence of WSSV infection and as an auxiliary tool for epidemiological evaluation.

This study confirmed that Inno A1 derived from the WSSV infectome complex (particularly the VP53A protein) can improve the immunity of shrimp, reduce disease incidence, and does not affect the diversity of the gut microbiota, thus demonstrating that Inno A1 can be applied in aquaculture. Therefore, this study provides a basis for the better application of feed additives to combat pathogens in shrimp aquaculture.

“Innocreate SARS-CoV-2 QD kit” is used in monitoring COVD-19 virus in the sewage system.

The Molecular Biology Laboratory, Seeing Bioscience Co., Ltd. is the only commercial laboratory which provides COVID-19 wastewater surveillance service in Taiwan. Customers include “Taiwan Center for Disease Control (CDC), Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of Interior and Department of Environment Protection, Taipei City Government”. Seeing Bioscience Co., Ltd. has established a set of methods based on “Innocreate SARS-CoV-2 QD kit” (TFDA EUA) which can detect COVID-19 in the wastewater system, even at low volume of the virus.

The challenge of detecting COVID-19 in wastewater is the occurrence of false negative by the inhibitor and false positive by the complex composition. “Innocreate SARS-CoV-2 QD kit” can detect 3 different virus genes plus a human gene target. The kit has high sensitivity, specificity, and inhibitor tolerance, and could monitor the level of human fecal or assessment inhibition by the human gene target.

The experience worldwide shows wastewater surveillance is a good early warning and monitoring system for COVID-19. “Innocreate SARS-CoV-2 QD kit” can help users obtain precise data within a short timeframe.

We are proud to share that our Covid19 test kit “Innocreate SARS-CoV-2 QD kit” has been approved for manufacturing by Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA)!

Thank you to all friends for your support during this period. We will continue to do our best in fighting this global pandemic together.

Features:

1. Includes 3 viral targets (E, N, RdRP) to reduce occurrence of false-positive or false-negative.

2. Limit of detection (LOD) reaches 2 PFU/ml.

3. Includes Human gene target (RNase P) which can reduce chances of false-negative result by failure in sample collection or sample degradation.

4. The multiplex design can reduce reactions to increase throughput.

5. Testing time is reduced through Fast Mode QPCR, results can be obtained within 50 minutes.

6. Fully validated kit with simplified operations preventing human errors and managing test quality.
