Enzymes for Research and Diagnostic Use
The COVID-19 coronavirus disease is an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The detection of SARS-CoV-2 is very important for patient diagnosis. During this pandemic, we provide enzyme products for coronavirus nucleic acid detection to help fight against the disease.
The principle of using enzymes to diagnose and analyze biological abnormalities is based on the fact that the activity of endogenous enzymes is sensitive to the health condition. Alternatively, enzymes can also be used to detect changes in the substrate concentrations, which could also be indicative of physiological disturbances. For example, using cholesterol oxidase for quantification of cholesterol can reveal potential cardiovascular diseases or high blood pressure.
