Urine-Based HSV-1&2 PCR Detection Kit

Urine-Based HSV-1&2 PCR Detection Kit (Cat# 31700 )

A ready-to-use system for the isolation, detection and differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2 from urine using end-point PCR detection

• Rapid isolation of high quality viral DNA from urine
• Ready-to-use 2X PCR Mastermix
• Detect and differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2
• High sensitivity and specificity
• Multiplex PCR with an isolation control and a PCR control
• Primer set and controls also available separately
• Ideal for use in:
  1.  Surveillance of Drug Resistant Pathogens
  2.  Epidemiologial Studies
  3.  Field Surveillance of Pathogens
  4.  Surveys

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Non Invasive, Non Infectious Sample Source – Urine is not infectious for most  human pathogens.
• Isolate High Quality, Inhibitor-Free DNA – Removal of highly concentrated salts, metabolic wastes and proteins provides high quality, concentrated viral DNA.
• Rapid Procedure – Isolate, detect and differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 in under 3 hours.
• Accuracy in Interpreting Results – The amplification bands are clearly distinct, and the melt curves do not overlap
• High Sensitivity and Specificity  – The limit of detection is less than 200 VP/mL of urine 
• Purchase Primer Set and Controls Separately – The HSV-1&2 Master Mix (with primers and PCR control), as well as the positive control and negative control can be purchased separately
