Product Name
CDTect Virus Kits (50)
Product Description
The CDTect Virus Kit is specially designed for highly sensitive detection of up to 4 viral nucleic acid targets by multiplex, real-time one-step RT-PCR using sequence-specific probes. Multiple viral RNA and / or DNA targets plus internal controls can be detected in a single tube without loss of sensitivity. The concentrated 5 × master mix enables the addition of higher sample input and contains HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase. The CDTect Virus RT Mix contains a unique formulation of Sensiscript Reverse Transcriptase that is optimized for highly sensitive detection of viral RNA. Two kit formats are available: the CDTect Virus Kit for cyclers that require ROX dye for fluorescence normalization and the CDTect Virus +ROX Vial Kit for other cyclers. For convenience, the master mix can be stored at 2-8 °C.
Components
Trial kit for 50 × 50 µL reactions: CDTect Virus Master Mix (contains ROX dye), CDTect Virus RT Mix, RNase-Free Water, CDTect Nucleic Acid Dilution Buffer
Advantage / Highlights
• For highly sensitive detection of viral RNA and / or DNA
• High sensitivity in single and multiplex assays
• Detection of viral RNA and / or DNA in the same reaction
• Clear detection of weak positive signals
• Fast universal 2-step protocols
• 5 × master mix for higher sensitivity with more sample input
Applications
CDTect Virus Kits provide highly sensitive real-time single or multiplex PCR or one-step RT-PCR using sequence-specific probes for detection of viral DNA and / or RNA plus internal controls. The kits can be used on a wide range of real-time thermal cyclers, including instruments from Applied Biosystems, Bio-Rad, Cepheid, Eppendorf, QIAGEN, Roche (except for capillary cyclers), and Agilent.
