Vitassay qPCR Kits contains in each well enzymes, buffer, primer and probes as well as an internal control in a lyophilized format.
The kits include a positive and a negative control.
Identification of pathogen DNA or RNA occurs by the use of target specific primers ans fluorecent labeled hydrolysis probes which hybridize conserved regions in the genomes of the differentpathogens.
Real-time PCR kit for the qualitative detection of Bocavirus in human samples
Intended use
Vitassay qPCR Bocavirus allows the detection of Bocavirus by real-time PCR in clinical
samples. The product is intended for use in the diagnosis of Bocavirus infections
alongside clinical data of the patient and other laboratory tests outcomes.
Transport and storage
date stated in the label.
• The resuspended positive control should be stored at -20ºC. In order to avoid
repeated freeze/thaw cycles, it is recommended to distribute the content in
different aliquots.
• Keep all reagents in the darkness.
Additional equipment and material required
• DNA extraction kit
• Real-time PCR instrument (thermocycler) (Attached I)
• Centrifuge for 1.5 ml tubes
• Vortexer
• Micropipettes (1-20 µl, 20-200 µl)
• Filter tips
• Powder-free disposal gloves
Summary
Acute viral respiratory tract infections are the leading cause of hospitalization for infants
and young children in developed countries, whilst a major cause of death in developing
countries. The human bocavirus (HBoV) is a newly, globally distributed, discovered
parvovirus which belongs to the Parvoviridae family and the Bocavirus genus.
Characterized for being a single-stranded DNA virus, it has four different genotypes.
