Description
Creative Biogene Human Metapneumovirus real time RT-PCR kit is used for the detection of Human Metapneumovirus in nasal and pharyngeal secretions by using real time PCR systems. The kit contains a specific ready-to-use system for the detection of hMPV using RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) in the real-time PCR system. The master contains reagents for the specific amplification of hMPV RNA including subtype A and subtype B. The reaction is done in one step real time RT-PCR. The first step is a reverse transcription (RT), during which hMPV RNA is transcribed into cDNA. Afterwards, a thermostable DNA polymerase is used to amplify the specific gene fragments by means of PCR (polymerase chain reaction). Fluorescence is emitted and measured by the real time systems' optical unit during the PCR
