Herpes test kit RTK015PLD

for CMVplasmawhole blood

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a highly prevalent herpesvirus in the general population and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Latent CMV can be reactivated after solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and generate diverse and sometimes very severe infections. CMV diagnosis and viral load monitoring, especially by molecular methods, is important for patient management, in order to initiate and determine efficiency of anti-viral treatment. CMV ELITe MGB® Kit is a real-time PCR assay, designed for the detection and quantification of Cytomegalovirus DNA. The assay is CE-IVD validated on a large range of sample types, in combination with ELITe InGenius®, a fully automated sample-to-result solution. Conserved sequences CMV major immediate early antigene gene, and human beta-globin gene as an internal control Eluate storage Monoreagent, ready-to-use Best-in-class PCR technology ELITe MGB probes designed with Minor Groove Binder, Superbases® and Eclipse® Dark Quencher Integrated workflow Fully automated process including extraction, amplification and result analysis with ELITe InGenius Quantitative results - International units (IU/mL) correlated to the 1st WHO International standard for Human CMV for NAAT (NIBSC Code 09/162) Copies/mL (cp/mL) Storage of standard curve 60 days Eluate storage - Additional testing including multiple PCR from the same eluate, retesting or archiving
