TRUPCR® EBV Real-Time PCR Detection Kit Pk 48

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), also called human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is one of eight known human herpes virus types in the herpes family, and is one of the most common viruses in humans. EBV is found all over the world and spreads most commonly through bodily fluids, primarily saliva.

EBV can cause infectious mononucleosis, fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and sometimes an enlarged spleen. Although it can cause mononucleosis, not everyone infected with the virus will get mononucleosis.

White blood cells called B cells are the primary targets of EBV infection. The kit is a Real-time PCR kit. During PCR, forward and reverse primers hybridise to a specific sequence product.

Key Features of the TRUPCR® EBV Virus PCR Detection Kit:

• Dual target allows highly sensitive & qualitative detection of EBV.
• The sensitivity of the test is 100 IU/ml.
• Easy workflow with ready-to-use reagents.
• Simple reaction setup and data interpretation, no special personnel training required.
• All-inclusive test: includes cDNA reagents and real-time PCR reagents with Internal Control.
