CMV test kit artus

for molecular diagnosticTMplasma

Complete CE-IVD-compliant workflow (QIAsymphony RGQ) High reliability using the internal control Highly sensitive detection of as few as 42.5 copies/ml (QS-RGQ kit) Accurate quantitation of viral load over a very broad linear range Product Details artus CMV PCR Kits are ready-to-use molecular detection kits for real-time PCR. The kits provide all necessary reagents optimized for reliable CMV DNA detection and quantitation for in vitro diagnostic use. artus CMV RG and TM PCR Kits use manual sample preparation and assay setup techniques. The artus CMV LC PCR Kit uses automated or manual sample preparation and manual asssay setup techniques. The artus CMV QS-RGQ Kit is part of the QIAsymphony RGQ, the complete automated system from sample to pathogen detection, and is not for use with manual assay setup. Performance To ensure highest sensitivity, artus CMV Kits have been optimized to detect low numbers of CMV DNA. The analytical sensitivity of the artus CMV QS-RGQ Kit is 42.5 copies/ml in consideration of the purification from EDTA plasma and assay setup using the QIAsymphony RGQ (see figure "Highly sensitive detection of CMV DNA"). (1.00 copies/ml corresponds to 1.64 IU/ml for detection of CMV DNA in EDTA plasma on the Rotor-Gene Q in combination with automated sample preparation and assay setup using the QIAsymphony RGQ. The conversion factor was determined by a regression analysis of multiple dilution series of the 1st WHO International Standard compared against a reference method reporting in IU/ml.) Principle artus CMV Kits are based on the amplification and simultaneous detection of a specific region of the CMV genome using real-time PCR.
