ARGEN NoeDx HCV qPCR Kit

The ARGEN HCV qPCR Kit is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification assay, a fluorogenic probe-based PCR assay for the quantification of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA. The ARGEN HCV qPCR Kit is approved for use with human serum or human plasma collected in EDTA anticoagulant. ARGEN HCV qPCR Kit is approved for use with Stratagene Mx3000p/Mx3005p or LineGene 9600 or LightCycler 2.0 or Rotor-Gene 3000/6000 or Applied Biosystems 7500 or BIO-RAD CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection System. This kit is approved for use with the ARGEN Viral Nucleic Acid Purification Kit. The ARGEN HCV qPCR Kit aims to assist in the management of patients with chronic HCV infection and to establish a strategy for anti-viral therapy with all relevant clinical and laboratory findings.

 

The ARGEN HCV qPCR Kit uses an internal control that controls quantification standards and nucleic acid purification and amplification to obtain quantitative results. The target region is located in the 5′-untranslated region (UTR) of the HCV genome. HCV RNA concentration is expressed in International Units/ml (IU/ml).
