Eurobio Scientific has launched two tests, namely EBX 060, a viral test to diagnose simian pox, varicella and measles viruses, and EBX 048, which is for the screening of Covid-19 and current variants.  

The EBX 060, Eurobioplex Monkeypox Screening Test (hMPXV, VZV, Measles) is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR2) test.

The EBX 060, Eurobioplex SARS-CoV-2 Fast-SVT has been specifically developed for routine screening of Covid-19 and variants, including the Omicron BA.1, BA.2 and BA.4/BA.5 variants.

A single test detects the K417N (Omicron variant BA.x sublineage screening), and S:V213G (Omicron variant BA.2 and BA.4/BA.5 sublineage screening) mutations.

It also detects the L452R (BA.4/BA.5 sublineage screening in the presence of the S:V213G mutation) mutations.

The company stated that the three mutations’ presence enables the differentiation of BA.4/BA.5 sublineages from other Omicron variant sublineages.
