Respiratory Viruses Detection Kit |
Introduction
Seegene’s respiratory viruses detection kit is designed to
detect 11 types of RNA viruses and 1 type of DNA virus, which are
responsible for respiratory diseases in humans. The kit uses Seegene's
new Multiplex-PCR DSO primer technology.
RNA virus (11 type): human metapneumovirus , human
coronavirus 229E/NL63 , human coronavirus OC43 , human rhinovirus
, human respiratory syncytial virus A , human respiratory syncytial
virus B , human parainfluenzavirus 1 , human parainfluenzavirus
2 , human parainfluenzavirus 3 , influenza A virus , influenza B
virus.
DNA virus (1 type): human adenovirus.
Advantages & Features
Overview of Respiratory Virus Detection
|
1. Coverage for 12 respiratory viruses
Seegene’s RV detection kit is designed to detect 12
types of respiratory viruses, some of which are not detectable
by other commercial virus detection kits.
2. High sensitivity
Because Seegene's DSO™ technology enhances the sensitivity
of the multiplex PCR, it is possible to detect the minimum
amount of virus in the sample.
3. High Specificity
Because Seegene's DSO™ technology enhances the specificity
of the multiplex PCR, it is possible to detect only the targeted
bands without any non-specific bands.
4. Use of Hot start Taq DNA polymerase
Seegene’s RV detection kit adopts a hot start Taq DNA
polymerase. By limiting polymerase activity prior to PCR cycling,
non-specific amplification is reduced and target yield is
increased. |
Comparison for the current
virus detection methods
|
Detection Method |
Feature |
Virus Culture |
Time-consuming, impossible to genotype, impossible early detection,
needs second identification method. |
Antigen Detection |
Low sensitivity, impossible to genotype, impossible early
detection. |
Hybridization |
Low sensitivity, low reliability. |
Oligo Chip |
Low reproducibility, false signal. |
PCR detection methods |
High sensitivity and specificity, adequate for early detection
and monitoring for virus. False signal, limited number of virus
detection in one tube. |
Conventional Multiplex PCR |
False signal, low sensitivity. |
 |
Seegene's
Respiratory Virus Detection Kit |
Seegene’s RV kit has advantages
over other methods in the number of viruses it can be detect,
specificity, sensitivity and subtype analysis. |
