This product is an in vitro diagnostic kit used for the detection of Monkeypox Virus Nucleic Acids. The kit can be used to assess samples from skin swabs, papule or vesicle. The kit specifically amplify and detect the nucleic acid sequence of Monkeypox Virus, and there is no cross-reaction with other related viruses.
• This kit is available in the lyophilized format. It can be shipped and stored in room temperature.
• Contains a assay-in-tube master mix in the PCR tube for the detection of the MPV target and the internal positive control (IPC).
• The limit of detection of this kit is 100 copies /ml.
• No thawing of PCR components. Reconstituted reagents can be freezing-thawing for up to 5 times.
Product Overview
Background Information
Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis caused by the monkeypox virus that can be transmitted between animals and humans and can also be retransmitted between humans. Based on the current epidemiological investigation, the incubation period is 6 to 13 days, mostly 5 to 21 days. The main symptoms are fever, severe headache, swollen lymph nodes, back pain, muscle aches and weakness. The rash usually begins 1-3 days after a fever and is concentrated on the face and limbs, Lesions can occur at anywhere from a few to thousands of sites, and in severe cases they can combine to cause large chunks of skin to fall off. These rashes are often very painful. When a rash appears, the patient is contagious. The nucleic acid of Monkeypox infections can be detected via real-time PCR in the specimen of blood and throat swabs, papule or vesicle. The current kit includes a set of specific primers
