The LIAISON® NES FLU A/B, RSV \& COVID-19 real-time (RT) PCR assay is a Point of Care (POC) system that enables the extraction, amplification, detection and differentiation of influenza A, Influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA from dry nasal swabs (NS). The system consists of the LIAISON® NES FLU A/B, RSV \& COVID-19 cartridge, the LIAISON® NES system (with LIAISON® NES Software), and associated accessories. In the LIAISON® NES FLU A/B, RSV \& COVID-19 cartridge, extraction reagents and lyophilized fluorescent probes are used together with corresponding forward and reverse primers to extract and amplify influenza A, influenza B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2 and internal control RNA targets.

The LIAISON PLEX® (also known as VERIGENE® II) RSP Flex Assay is an automated test for the detection and identification of common viruses and bacteria, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA, from upper respiratory specimens. The VERIGENE® II Respiratory Flex (RSP Flex) Assay is performed on the VERIGENE® II System. The VERIGENE® II System is an automated platform that performs sample preparation and is capable of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of target-specific nucleic acids. The VERIGENE® II System is a fully automated, bench-top "sample-to-answer" device. The test reagents are supplied in a single, disposable test cartridge.
