[아이뉴스24 류은혁 기자] Seegene, a diagnostic kit manufacturer, announced on the 1st that it has completed the development of a diagnostic kit that can identify the major mutant viruses of Corona 19 at once.
Seegene is suitable for four types of viruses: ▲Existing coronavirus ▲Corona 19 virus mutation from UK ▲Corona 19 virus mutation from South Africa ▲Other mutations (from Japan, Brazil, etc.) and new types of new mutations We plan to develop a diagnostic kit to find out in one test and quickly release it to the global market.
