The surveillance solution from DKSH, gives you early warning of infection so you can take prompt action to stop the spread. Surveillance, utilizing gold standard qPCR, minimizes operational and financial risks from and more importantly, protects your people from breakthrough infection.

  • The gold standard: The surveillance solution employees SalivaDirectTM method and Ubiquitome Liberty-16 qPCR hardware which have received the FDA EUA^. The sensitivity of the method is comparable to that used in clinical laboratory-based analysis of nasopharyngeal swabs & saliva samples for SARS-CoV-2.
  • Turn-key solution: we supply, commission, and support the surveillance equipment, assist with entire implementation process and on-going supply of consumables and reagents and quality control management.
  • Additional layer not an alternative: several businesses in New Zealand have successfully implemented this solution to strengthen their risk management. This solution does not directly replace the need for confirmatory diagnostic testing of individuals.

^The FDA Emergency Use Authorisation for the SalivaDirectTM with the Ubiquitome qPCR system was granted in Aug 2021.
