Omicron Variant: Letter to our customers

To Our Valued Seegene Customer,

The World Health Organization has identified the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) as the latest strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to be designated as a Variant of Concern.


As the first cases are emerging in the US, Seegene confirms that the performance or quality of the Seegene EUA Allplex™ 2019-nCoV Assay is not impacted by either the Omicron variant or the Delta variants.


Seegene has conducted an in-silico analysis of this Variant of Concern, indicating that our assay can amplify and detect 100% of the currently available SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sequences.
