Swine flu [H1N1] Real-time PCR Kit

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Swine flu H1N1 Real-time PCR Kit constitutes a ready-to- use system for the detection of Influenza-A and H1N1 specific RNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It contains reagents and enzymes for the specific amplification of the conserved region of the Swine flu H1N1 genome, and for the direct detection of the specific amplicon in FAM and Cy5 channel. In addition, it contains an endogenous control amplification system to identify possible PCR inhibition and RNA purification efficiency. External positive control is supplied to assist the run.

STORAGE

1. The kit is shipped on gel ice. Upon arrival, all components should be stored in -20°C. They are stable until the expiration date stated on the label. 
2. Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided, as this might affect the performance of the assay. 
3. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots. Storage at 2 to 8°C should not exceed a period of 5 hours.

SPECIFICITY

Swine flu H1N1 primer and probe have been designed for the specific and exclusive in-vitro detection of PAN-Influenza-A and Swine flu H1N1. The target sequence is highly conserved and has previously been shown to be a good genetic marker for Swine flu H1N1. The primers and probe sequences in this kit have 100% homology with a broad range of clinically relevant reference sequences based on a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.
