This kit, adopting Real-Time PCR-Fluorescence technology, is used for detection of herpes simplex virus 6 (HSV-6). It can be used for the laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of the herpes simplex virus 6 (HSV-6) infection. The test results are only for clinical reference, not for case confirmation or exclusion.
Principle:
The specific primers and specific fluorescent probes are designed for the nucleic acid conserved region of herpes simplex virus 6 (HSV-6). 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 herpes simplex virus 6 (HSV-6) 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 nucleic acid extraction is qualified.
Specimen requirements:
1.Specimen type :
Urethral swabs, cervical swabs or rectal swab.
2.Specimen preservation:
The specimen can be stored for 3 months at -20±5℃ and for a long time below -70℃.
