Bosphore Vesicular Rash Panel Kit is a Real-Time PCR based in-vitro diagnostic medical device, IVD CE marked according to 98/79/EC Directive. Bosphore Vesicular Rash Panel Kit detects and characterizes herpes simplex virus 1, herpes simplex virus 2 and varicella-zoster virus DNA in human biological samples. Fluorescence detection is accomplished by using FAM, HEX, Texas Red and Cy5 filters. Herpes simplex virus 1 is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the FAM filter, herpes simplex virus 2 is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the Cy5 filter and varicella-zoster virus is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the HEX filter. An internal control has been integrated into the kit in order to check PCR inhibition. The amplification data of the internal control is detected with Texas Red filter. The internal control can be added either during DNA extraction or PCR step.
