Description

ViroReal® Kit Swine Influenza A (SIV) is a real-time PCR assay for detection of RNA of influenza A virus of warm-blooded animals including pigs, birds, horses as well as humans using one-step reverse transcription real-time PCR. This test was developed and validated for the ABI PRISM® 7500 (Fast) instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific), LightCycler® 480 (Roche) and Mx3005P® (Agilent), but is also suitable for other real-time PCR instruments. This kit allows the rapid and sensitive detection of RNA of influenza A virus from samples purified from nasal swabs, tracheal secretions, nasopharyngeal aspirates, bronchoalveolare lavages or lung biopsies (e.g. with the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit, Qiagen).
