SARS- CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) is a new type of coronavirus (highly identical at the whole-genome level to a bat coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of the respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China.

Creative Diagnostics now can provide SARS-CoV-2 antigens and antibodies. SARS-CoV-2 antigens can be used for scientific research, detection of SARS coronavirus-2 and preparation of neutralizing antibodies. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are useful for researchers interested in viral research.
SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV all belong to the Betacoronavirus genus and are zoonotic pathogens that can cause severe respiratory diseases in humans.
