GeneProof Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) PCR Kit
CE1023 IVD
PRODUCT DETAIL
The PCR kit is designed for the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA detection by the one-step RT real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.
The HCV detection consists in amplification of a single-copy 5' UTR RNA sequence and in measurement of fluorescence increase. The HCV presence is indicated by the FAM fluorophore fluorescence growth. An Internal Standard (IS) is included in the PCR kit, controlling the whole diagnostic process, i.e. RNA extraction efficiency, reverse-transcription step efficiency (transcription of RNA into cDNA) and PCR amplification efficiency (PCR inhibition). IS positive amplification is detected in the HEX fluorophore fluorescence channel. The detection kit takes advantage of the "hot start" technology, minimizing non-specific reactions and assuring maximum sensitivity. The kit is designed for in vitro diagnostics and provides qualitative and quantitative detections.
