VIASURE EBV q Real Time PCR Detection Kit is a non-automatized qPCR test designed for the specific detection and quantitation of Epstein-Barr virus viral load in human EDTA-plasma and EDTA-whole blood samples from patients with signs and symptoms of the Epstein-Barr virus infection, and from patients with EBV infection undergoing anti-viral treatment by their healthcare professional (HCP).

This test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of EBV infection and treatment management in combination with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. DNA is extracted from human EDTA-plasma or EDTA-whole blood samples, amplified using real time PCR and detected using fluorescent reporter dye probes specific for EBV. Quantitative Standards ensure accurate measurement of EBV viral load in copies/ml or in IU/ml using the conversion factor.

The product is intended for use by qualified and trained clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures (including training on the Real Time PCR instrument (thermocycler) and nucleic acid extraction system).
