Immunoassays Assays Antibodies ACE2 & Host Cell Proteases
Proteins PCR Rapid Tests Swabs

COVID-19 is an acute respiratory syndrome caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Vaccine and drug discovery scientists have focused on the therapeutic potential of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and host cell proteins such as ACE-2. Scientists developing diagnostic tests are primarily interested in quantifying the SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as well as measuring the host antibody response via Cytokine Storm, IgG/IgM, Neutralizing antibody levels. Assay Genie have launched a suite of reagents including activity assays, immunoassays, antibodies and proteins to help scientists optimize their workflows and research output in the fight against COVID-19.

Immunoassays

Assay Genie have a wide range of quantitative and qualitative highly validated and sensitive ELISA & multiplex immunoassays to measure SARS-CoV-2 antigens as well as host antibodies generated during the immune response.

ACE2 & Host Cell Proteases

SARS-CoV-2 virus has been shown to use the ACE2 receptor in host cells to gain entry. Assay Genie have developed highly sensitive ACE-2 ELISA, activity and inhibitor assays to aid drug discovery and development. As SARS-CoV-2 is cleaved by a number of host cell proteases such as TMPRESS2, Assay Genie also have a range of proteins, antibodies and assays to help researchers investigate the process.

  • ACE2 ELISA, Inhibitor and Activity Assays
  • Host Cell Protease reagents for TMPRESS2, Furin, Cathepsin L (CTSL) Cathepsin B (CTSB), Neutrophil Elastase (ELA2)

COVID-19 Research Kits and Tools

Intense research is now required to elucidate immunological & cardiovascular pathways involved in COVID-19. This research will help in development of a vaccine versus the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the development of therapeutics and anti-virals to prevent and/or repress SARS-CoV-2 infection. To support COVID-19 research we have developed some key biological research tools such as antibodies, recombinant proteins, ACE2 assays and multiplex panels to measure cytokine storm.
