Multiplex HSV Detection kit

Multiplex HSV Detection kit

Infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) is among the most ubiquitous of human infections. HSV infects neonates, children and adults, and the virus is spread by direct contact with virus in secretions from either symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals. HSV types 1 and 2 cause genital herpes infections and lead to genital ulcer disease in industrialized nations. Accurate identification of persons with HSV infection is necessary for optimal patient management and prevention of transmission.

Atila HSV Detection Kit is intended for use to qualitatively detect and differentiate HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA present in genital swabs from patients with signs and symptoms of HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection.

Features

• Simplest protocol: heating the genital specimens with Atila lyse buffer for 10 minutes, then mixing the treated sample with reaction buffer for incubation and detection. NO DNA extraction or purification is needed.
• Fastest Assay on the market: From sample to answer is less than 90 minutes.  Hands on times are less than 15 minutes per assay.
• Great Sensitivity: This multiplex assay detects less than 100 copies of pathogen DNA per reaction
• Low Cost: Price per assay is much better than any other HSV detection kits on the market
• Flexibility: the kits can be used for detection of any number of samples without wasting extra reagents
