The Hi‐PCR® Generic Dengue Semi‐Q PCR Kit is designed to detect the specific gene regions of D1 & D2 gene (511 bp) as generic primer. These unique sequences are found exclusively within the members of the Dengue, and because of this exclusivity, it has become an important diagnostic tool in the identification of Dengue species. The kit allows rapid, sensitive and specific detection of Dengue samples. Hi-PCR® Generic Dengue Semi-Q PCR Kit identifies the presence of the viral genome using Reverse Transcription and Semi Quantitative PCR. The assay facilitates Viral RNA Amplification for all four serotypes to assist in Dengue Testing and Mosquito Borne Disease Clinical Screening.
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Dengue is spread by several species of mosquito of the Aedes type, principally A. aegypti. Dengue fever virus (DENV) is an RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae; genus Flavivirus. There are five strains of the virus, called serotypes, of which the first four are referred to as DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4. Hi-PCR® Generic Dengue Semi-Q PCR Kit is designed to detect the specific gene regions of D1 & D2 gene as generic primer. These unique sequences are found exclusively within the members of the Dengue.
