Help protect your campus community from COVID-19
The Standard BioTools COVID-19 Campus Safeguard Program provides a simple, affordable and accessible testing capability that can be an essential part of comprehensive programs to help keep your student’s university or college open.
Many Standard BioTools™ employees have sons and daughters looking to return to campus, and we well understand the risks and worries that going back to school entail. Keeping students and faculty safe with accurate and accessible testing is an essential part of campus programs that will enable students and faculty to focus on education and a safe path to a normal campus atmosphere while giving you, the parents, additional reassurance. With this in mind, Standard BioTools created the COVID-19 Campus Safeguard Program to support all university and college programs across the US with the saliva-based Advanta™ Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay at an academic price to enable access to essential testing.

Intended Use

The Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay is a real-time reverse transcription (RT) PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in saliva specimens collected without preservatives in a sterile container from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their health care provider.

Testing is limited to laboratories that are certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, and meet requirements to perform high-complexity tests.

This test is also for use with saliva specimens that are self-collected at home with or without the supervision of a health care provider (HCP) with the AZOVA COVID-19 Test Collection Kit from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their HCP.

Results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The SARS-CoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in saliva specimens during the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Clinical correlation with individual history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine individual infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all results to the appropriate public health authorities.

Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for individual management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, individual history, and epidemiological information. Negative results for SARS-CoV-2 RNA from saliva should be confirmed by testing of an alternative specimen type if clinically indicated.

The Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay is intended for use by qualified clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures. The Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay is only for use under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization.

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use. For Use Under Emergency Use Authorization Only. Rx Only.

This test has not been FDA cleared or approved.

This test has been authorized by FDA under an EUA for use by authorized laboratories.

This test has been authorized only for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogen.

This test is only authorized 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 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
