Strong point of SolGent

1. Of the four certified companies “Emergency Use Authorization” by KCDC, Kogenbiotech Co., Ltd. and SD
BIOSENSOR imports most of the raw material from abroad when PCR performing, Seegene Co., Ltd. is not much
different from them. Supply of product remains precarious if the raw material is not unstable. However, SolGent Co.,
Ltd., there is this kind of stable product supplying demand from raw material and product production.

2. Differing from any other companies, we approached targeting with different gene(Orf1a, N gene). Our product
shows high level of sensitivity and specificity. An early diagnosis for COVID-19 is available to test with a small
amount RNA. Also, it does not appear false positive reaction because we concentrate to targeting for “specificity”
and “COVID-19”

3. Kogenbiotech Co., Ltd. product composed 2 tubes assay reagent has lots of the number of samples to need a test.
Seegene Co., Ltd, SD BIOSENSOR and SolGent Co., Ltd. product with 1 tube assay reagent are available to verify
Corona 19 virus infection. Kogenbiotech Co., Ltd. (RdRp, E gene) / Seegene Co., Ltd. (RdRp, E gene, N gene) / SD
BIOSENSOR (RdRp, E gene) / SolGent Co., Ltd. (Orf1a, N gene). Most of company except SolGent Co., Ltd. have “E
gene”. We, SolGent Co., Ltd., have extensive experience developing product targeted “E gene” when MERS was
spreading. We checked an unspecified contamination at that time, the same situation has been confirmed by other
companies. When we develop the COVID-19 detection kit, based on these kinds of finding, we developed the kit
except for E gene. The hospital or health examination center, where to check for infection, have great difficulties
with detection because of E gene. We think it is important that monitoring the product modalities for E gene from
other companies.
