Product OverviewThe virotype PRRSV 2.0 RT-PCR Kit from INDICAL BIOSCIENCE enables simultaneous detection and differentiation of all currently known strains of Type 1 (EU, PRRSV1) and Type 2 (US/NA, PRRSV2) genotypes of the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) in samples from swine. When used with the virotype PRRSV EU Vax RT-PCR Kit, it also enables DIVA strategies, supporting informed decision-making in PRRSV control and vaccine monitoring.
Continuous ImprovementAs viral pathogens continuously evolve, diagnostic tools need to be updated. INDICAL BIOSCIENCE uses field studies, bioinformatic methods, and customer-shared samples and sequences to detect the ever-increasing number of PRRSV strains and constantly monitor assay performance.
Improved Design and Performance- Triplex real-time RT-PCR assay with modified and additional oligos for optimal PRRSV strain detection
- Highly sensitive detection of as few as 10 copies per sample
- Usable on most common PCR thermocyclers
- High efficiency on all instruments tested
Save Precious Lab Time- Enhanced, ultra-fast protocol with a RT-qPCR runtime of ~1 hour*
- Can be performed in one cycler run with other virotype 2.0 RT-PCR Kits
- Easy-to-use single reaction mix with endogenous internal extraction and amplification control
- Ready-to-use positive and negative controls
Flexible with Multiple Validated Sample Types- Swine blood, serum, tissue, bronchial swabs
- Swine bronchial lavage, saliva, semen samples
- Cell culture supernatant samples
Pooling options: Due to the high sensitivity of the virotype PRRSV 2.0 RT-PCR Kit, pools of up to 5 individual samples and collective samples of saliva may be analyzed.

About PRRSVInfections with PRRSV in swine are highly prevalent and economically very important for the swine industry. PRRSV is an RNA virus that belongs to the order Nidovirales, family Arteriviridae. PRRS virus infection can cause respiratory disease in piglets and reproductive failure in pregnant sows.
