COVIDSeq™ Test -How We Are Fighting The Pandemic

2 August 2021

A big thank you to our employees who collaborated deeply to create the COVIDSeq™ Test in record time. From idea to an Emergency Use Authorization submission in just 45 days. At its peak, this project had 600+ team members working diligently, representing almost every function within the company. Thanks to their collective determination and expertise COVIDSeq is now one of the most remarkable achievements in Illumina history and a key tool to fight the pandemic. COVIDSeq, which is now in use all over the world, is a gamechanger. It has played a fundamental role in raising broader awareness of sequencing, understanding pathogens, and improving health and healthcare on a global scale. COVIDSeq has not been FDA cleared or approved. This test is authorized by FDA under an EUA for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19. COVIDSeq is only authorized for use in laboratories in the U.S., certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, to perform high complexity tests. @2021 Illumina, Inc.
