The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year. It brings family and friends together from near and far to celebrate special traditions. The holidays also intertwine with the respiratory infection season such as RSV, Influenza, and COVID-19. After the 2020 holiday season, the United States saw the highest peak in COVID-19 cases.  Is your inventory prepared for the expected increased demand in testing?  LaunchWorks has the following ready-to-ship items critical to prepare your lab for the holiday demands and get ahead of the curve: 

Molecular assays identify the presence of COVID-19 viral RNA in respiratory specimens with high sensitivity and specificity. The LaunchWorks’ One-Step RT-qPCR Master Mix was designed for sensitive and reproducible detection of RNA and/or DNA targets in a single or multiplexed RT-qPCR reaction, and does not require a passive reference dye. The 2X Master Mix has demonstrated multiplexed detection capabilities for respiratory panel testing including COVID-19, Flu A, Flu B, and RSV. With a shelf life of 12 months, the master mix is stored at or below –20°C.
