Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched its CE-IVD-marked molecular Applied Biosystems TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select Panel, which detects five common viruses.
The new assay panel has been designed to detect respiratory viruses, including those that cause croup, bronchiolitis, influenza-like illnesses, the common cold and pneumonia.
Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, the assay panel tests for Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, Parainfluenza virus, Adenovirus and Human Metapneumovirus.
