Nipah Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR)
Nipah virus infection is a zoonotic disease transmitted to humans from animals, as well as through contaminated food or direct person-to-person contact. With reported case fatality rates exceeding 40%, and reaching up to 75% in some outbreaks, early detection is critical to outbreak control. In humans, infection can range from asymptomatic or mild illness to acute respiratory disease and fatal encephalitis. The virus can also cause severe disease in animals, particularly pigs, leading to significant economic losses in affected regions.
Product Description
Nipah virus belongs to the Henipavirus genus (Paramyxoviridae) and is mainly classified into two genotypes, NiV-Malaysia and NiV-Bangladesh. Accurate molecular detection plays a critical role in virological research, epidemiological investigations, and outbreak preparedness.
The Nipah Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR) is designed for the sensitive and specific detection of both NiV-Malaysia and NiV-Bangladesh genotypes of Nipah virus RNA. Based on real-time PCR technology, the kit delivers reliable performance and is compatible with standard qPCR platforms, supporting laboratories engaged in emerging infectious disease research and surveillance.
Product Features
Convenient and Simple:
Ready-to-use premix, minimizes pipetting errors, and improves repeatability.
Internal Control:
Enables monitoring of nucleic acid extraction and PCR amplification efficiency, ensuring reliable results and reducing false negatives.
Fast Turnaround Time:
Nucleic acid detection can be completed in as fast as 35 minutes, enabling rapid decision-making in laboratory settings.
High Specificity:
No cross-reactivity has been observed with common human pathogens (including HBV, HCV, influenza viruses, dengue virus, Zika virus, coronaviruses, and adenovirus), human genomic DNA, or porcine viruses such as PEDV and ASFV, ensuring reliable and accurate results.
