HHV6-TEST
PCR
HHV6-TEST
The kit is designed for qualitative and quantitative detection of human herpes simplex virus type 6 (HHV-6) DNA. It is used when examining patients with suspected herpes simplex virus infection and a confirmed diagnosis to assess viral load and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
Advantages
- Identification of herpes simplex virus infection caused by HHV-6 is possible in any form and stage of the disease.
- The risk of contamination is reduced due to the inclusion of uracil-DNA-glycosy- lase (UDG) and 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate (dUTP) in the reaction mixture.
- High speed of the assay.
