Recognition of the Breton Variant by the RT-LAMP Duo Kit is important to ensure public health safety where accurate testing against multiple types of SARS-CoV-2 variants is absolutely crucial in sustaining efforts against pandemic control. Furthermore, the assay detects newly emerged variants know as Nigerian, Philippine, Californian and Indian.
