Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is the method of choice for detection and quantification of a wide range of micro organisms. Primerdesign manufactures and supplies high quality quantitative real-time PCR kits for the detection and simultaneous quantification of numerous significant pathogens . A copy number standard curve is provided for quantification and an the internal extraction template (DNA or RNA), controls for the quality of the nucleic acid extraction and eliminates false negative results.
The kit is designed with the broadest possible detection profile to ensure that all clinically relevant strains and subtypes are detected. Target sequences are selected by working with data from key opinion leaders in the field. Multiple sequence alignments and unprecedented real-time PCR expertise in design and validation ensure the best possible kit.
Details of the target and priming specificity are included in the individual handbooks above.
Packaged, optimised and ready to use. Expect Better Data.

Viral RNA was extracted from HCV-infected Huh-7 cells using the InvisorbSpin Virus RNA Mini Kit (Invitek, Hayward, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The extracted RNA was stored at −80°C until further use. Viral nucleic acid was quantified using a viral nucleic acid detection kit (Genesig; PrimerDesign, Chandler’s Ford, UK).
