This kit, adopting Real-Time PCR Fluorescence technology, is used for qualitative detection of HPV 16+ 18 genotyping. It can be used for the medical laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of the virus infection status for learning the prediction of cervical caner. The test results are only for clinical reference, not for case confirmation or exclusion.
Test Principle:
The specific primers and specific fluorescent probes are designed for the conserved region of HPV 16+ 18. The PCR reaction solution, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR detection technology is applied on the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument to realize the rapid detection of HPV 16+ 18 through the change of fluorescence signal. The detection system contains a human internal control (IC) gene, which is used to monitor whether the specimens and the process of the nucleic acid extraction is qualified.
Storage and stability:
1.The kit should be stored under -20±5℃ and protected from light. Its period of validity is 12 months. Products can be shipped at room temperature for 7 days.
2.Repeated thawing and freezing should be no more than 3 times.
Specimen requirements:
1. Specimen type
Cervical shedding cells, vaginal swab, genitourinary tract secretions.
2. Specimen collection and transportation
Clean the sampling site with sterile saline, and then use an epithelial brush (cervical brush, swab, etc.) to collect exfoliated cells from the cervix or genitourinary tract, epithelial cells at the lesion, secretions, etc. swabs, etc.) into a sterile storage tube and seal it for inspection.
3. Specimen preservation
