Description
Adenovirus Qualitative Detection PCR Kit
Adenoviruses (Adenovirus), belonging to the Mastadenovirus family, are double-stranded DNA viruses capable of causing a wide range of diseases. These include respiratory infections—especially in children—conjunctivitis, fever and sore throat, and gastroenteritis, with severity ranging from mild to severe.
Individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those receiving immunosuppressive medications, patients with chronic respiratory conditions, and children, are at higher risk of adenovirus infection. Studies show that most children contract at least one type of adenovirus before the age of 10.
Amir Peyvand Research and Development Company (AP‑RAD), with the goal of providing a rapid, sensitive, and specific method for detecting adenovirus and distinguishing it from other viruses, has developed the Adenovirus Qualitative Detection PCR Kit (Real-time). This molecular diagnostic kit is designed for the qualitative detection of adenovirus in upper and lower respiratory specimens from patients with respiratory symptoms.
The primary detection method used in this kit is based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a specific TaqMan probe. First, DNA is extracted from the samples, and then amplified using Real‑time PCR to provide fast, accurate, and reliable results.
Using this kit, rapid adenovirus detection in both children and adults becomes possible, helping physicians and laboratories deliver timely and appropriate treatment for patients with respiratory illnesses.
