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 and differentiation of RSV A and B virus in human samples
Intended use
Vitassay qPCR RSV A + RSV B allows the detection and differentiation of RSV A and
RSV B by real-time RT-PCR in clinical samples. The product is intended for use in the
diagnosis of RSV infections alongside clinical data of the patient and other laboratory
tests outcomes.
Transport and storage
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
• RNA extraction kit
• Real-time PCR instrument (thermocycler) (Attached I)
• Centrifuge for 1.5 mL tubes
• Vortex
• Micropipettes (1-20 µL, 20-200 µL)
• Filter tips
• Powder-free disposal gloves
Summary
Human respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV) is the major pathogen responsible for yearly
outbreaks of lower respiratory tract disease in young children, but it has also been
confirmed as an important cause of respiratory tract illness throughout life. It predictably
produces a sizeable outbreak of infections each year.
