Co-Dx™ Logix Smart® COVID-19 test kit

Boost speed and accuracy with real-time PCR testing

The Co-Dx Logix Smart COVID-19 test kit is an in vitro diagnostic test that uses our patented Co-Primers™ technology for the qualitative detection of the RNA from SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes (COVID-19).

How it works

The test operates using a single step real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) process in lower respiratory tract fluids (e.g. bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum, tracheal aspirate), and upper respiratory tract fluids (e.g. nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs) from patients who meet the clinical criteria (e.g. signs and symptoms) for COVID-19.

Test kit components

The Co-Dx Logix Smart COVID-19 test kit includes the following components.

Ready-to-use Master Mix

Includes the complete mix for convenience and an Internal Positive Control - Human RNaseP gene marker

Positive Control

Synthetic control intended to amplify all targets included in the kit to ensure integrity of the entire run

Negative Control

Acts as a negative control to verify Master Mix is free from contamination

Additional information​

The Co-Dx Logix Smart COVID-19 test kit is available to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, to perform high complexity tests, or by similarly qualified non-U.S. laboratories.

Regulatory clearance

In February 2020, the Co-Dx Logix Smart COVID-19 test kit received CE marking approval, the principle regulatory clearance allowing the test to be sold as an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in European Union states and other markets that accept a CE-IVD mark as valid regulatory approval.

On April 3, 2020, the Co-Dx Logix Smart COVID-19 test kit obtained Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2:  FDA Letter of Authorization
