GeneProof Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) PCR Kit
CE IVD
PRODUCT DETAIL
The PCR kit is designed for detection of Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) by the real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.
The HSV-2 detection consists in amplification of a specific conservative DNA sequence of a single-copy gene encoding the glycoprotein B (gB) and in measurements of fluorescence increase. The HSV-2 presence is indicated by the FAM fluorophore fluorescence growth. An Internal Standard (IS) is either included in the reaction mix, controlling the possible inhibition of the PCR (ISIN version) or excluded, controlling also the DNA extraction process quality (ISEX version). 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. Ready to Use MasterMix contains uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG), eliminating possible contamination of the PCR with amplification products. The kit is designed for in vitro diagnostics and provides qualitative and quantitative detection.
