Real-Time PCR Diagnostic Kits

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 26 Jan 2005
A series of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic kits offer ready-to-use assays for DNA quantitation of cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). More...
All have the CE Mark.

All require only small sample volumes (200 µl) and are characterized by high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and harmonized test profiles enabling multibatch runs with different analytes tested in one run. Called affigenea trender, the kits were developed by Sangtec Molecular Diagnostics (Stockholm, Sweden; www.sangtec.com). The assays for CMV and EBV are for use with plasma, scrum, and whole blood, while the HBV assay is for use in serum and plasma only.

"The affigenea trender kits offer a flexible solution for sample preparation from different sample matrices such as cell-free body fluids and whole blood,” noted Therese Sundell, international product manager at Sangtec. "They also offer prevention of false-negative results through a built-in internal control and prevention of false-positive results through UDG [uracil-DNA glycosylase] sterilization and closed-tube reactions.”

Sangtec Molecular Diagnostics focuses on infectious diseases of immunocompromised patients and oncology. The company states it is one of the few firms in the world with a broad PCR license for human clinical diagnostics.
