Eurofins Bioanalytical Services, a member of Eurofins BioPharma Services, Laboratory Testing division, announces the launch of a Surrogate Virus Neutralization Test (sVNT) antibody assay against the SARS-CoV-2-virus. An alternative to conventional testing with a live virus, this assay is the first neutralizing antibody serology test authorized by the FDA as emergency use authorization (EUA). This innovative assay detects the presence of neutralizing/blocking antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus, that block the interaction between the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the viral spike glycoprotein with the ACE2 cell surface receptor.
