Description

• Adenoviruses (AdVs) are common pathogens in human, causing diseases not only in airways, eyes, and intestine but also in the liver, urinary tract, and/or adenoids.
• To date, more than 100 human AdV (HAdV) types have been isolated, characterized, and classified into seven species (A to G).
• The two sole members of HAdV species F, HAdV-F40 and HAdV-F41, stand out as the only HAdVs with a pronounced gastrointestinal tropism. These so-called enteric AdVs are a leading cause of diarrhea and diarrhea-associated mortality in young children.
• Diarrhea is estimated to cause ~530,000 deaths/year in children younger than 5 years worldwide.

Intended Use

The Detection Kit for Adenovirus (PCR-Fluorescence Probing) is provided for fast and qualitative detection of Adenovirus in samples extracted from swab specimens by means of Real-Time PCR for diagnosis of Adenovirus presence. 

*The test results are for clinical reference only and cannot be used as a basis for confirming or excluding cases alone.

Features

• Highly specific detection for human adenoviruses (HAdV-A to HAdV-G) or gastrointestinal specie AdV-F 41
• PCR buffer and polyase mix contain Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) eliminating carryover contamination
• Ready-to-use kit simplifies workflow & compatible with a wide range of real-time PCR devices
• Rapid detection, the amplification can be completed within 30mins
