Chikungunya Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescence PCR)
Chikungunya is a viral illness caused by the chikungunya virus, primarily spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. The disease has led to both widespread outbreaks and isolated cases, particularly in regions of the Americas, Asia, and Africa, with occasional smaller outbreaks also occurring in Europe. The virus was first identified in the Americas in 2013 on the island of St. Martin, and it rapidly spread, infecting over a million people in the region within a year.

Product Description
The Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescence PCR) is designed for the precise and rapid detection of CHIKV infections. It targets highly conserved regions of the CHIKV genome with specific primers and fluorescent probes, enabling efficient amplification and specific detection through fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology. The kit uses the human β-globin gene, labeled with CY5 dye, as a universal internal control—functioning as an endogenous control for human samples and an exogenous control for mosquito-borne samples. This built-in control monitors the entire process from sample collection and transportation to nucleic acid extraction and detection, ensuring reliability and reducing the risk of false-negative results.
