Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection has been demonstrated in a wide range of mammals under laboratory conditions, with cats and ferrets being the most permissive hosts. Although the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is mainly between humans, there have been reports of probable human-to-cat transmission, including transmission from infected owners of pet cats.

As the COVID-19 has spread in the world, an increased testing to trace and control outbreaks. Besides increased RT-PCR testing for acute infections, there is a need for serology tests to assay who may have acquired immunity to future SARS-CoV-2 infections. These tests identify individuals with neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 by using coronavirus proteins as bait. Read More
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has created an enormous challenge for laboratories and communities worldwide. To address the crisis presented by COVID-19, labs need an accurate testing method capable of cost-effectively processing large numbers of samples.
The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus like other types of virus, does not exclusively cause respiratory damage; in fact, neurological, cardiovascular, renal and other organ involvement has been described. Specifically, at the cardiac level, it is estimated that there is damage in 1 in 5 hospitalized patients.
Measure biomarkers of inflammation with ProcartaPlex multiplex immunoassay panels. Simultaneously quantitate up to 65 soluble immune biomarkers from a single sample. Use preconfigured chemokine and cytokine panels or select from single targets to create your own custom panel to detect and quantitate the inflammatory response.
As the global COVID-19 pandemic evolves, researchers worldwide are working hard to study the mechanisms underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection.
