Influenza A H1N1 & H3N2 RT-PCR V54-50FRT DataSheet

INTENDED USE

Influenza A H1N1 & H3N2 Real-TM is Real-Time amplification test for typing of Influenza virus A (identification to subtypes H1N1 and H3N2) RNA in Influenza virus cultures and in clinical material (nasal and oropharyngeal swabs; sputum, bronchial lavage, autopsy material) .

PRINCIPLE OF ASSAY

Influenza A H1N1 & H3N2 Real-TM Test is based on four major processes: isolation of Influenza A virus RNA from specimens, reverse transcription of the RNA and Real Time amplification of the cDNA of Influenza A virus. Influenza A H1N1 & H3N2 Real-TM PCR kit is a qualitative test which contain the Internal Control (IC) . It must be used in the isolation procedure in order to control the process of each individual sample extraction and serves also to identify possible reaction inhibition.

STABILITY

Influenza A H1N1 & H3N2 Real-TM is stable up to the expiration date indicated on the kit label. The product will maintain performance through the control date printed on the label. Exposure to light, heat or humidity may affect the shelf life of some of the kit components and should be avoided. Repeated thawing and freezing of these reagents should be avoided, as this may reduce the sensitivity.
