Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes of lower respiratory tract infections in infants, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised patients worldwide. While RSV infections often resemble the common cold in healthy adults, the virus can rapidly progress to bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and severe respiratory distress in vulnerable populations. Early and accurate laboratory diagnosis is therefore essential for timely patient management, infection control, and outbreak prevention in healthcare settings.
The RSV-Q Real Time PCR Kit from Genes2me delivers rapid and reliable qualitative detection of RSV RNA using highly sensitive real-time PCR technology. Designed as a single-tube assay with integrated internal control monitoring, the kit minimizes workflow complexity. Compatible with leading real-time PCR systems, the assay supports routine respiratory diagnostics with high analytical sensitivity and specificity.
The RSV-Q Real Time PCR Kit uses a single-tube multiplex RT-PCR workflow to detect RSV-specific RNA sequences directly from respiratory specimens. The assay employs target-specific primers and fluorescent probes for RSV detection, while a separate Internal Control (IC) is simultaneously detected in the single step to validate assay performance. During amplification, fluorescence signals are monitored in real time, enabling sensitive and specific qualitative detection of RSV RNA. The internal control verifies proper extraction, amplification efficiency, and the absence of PCR inhibitors, reducing the risk of false-negative reporting.
RSV infections can present with symptoms similar to other viral respiratory illnesses, making clinical diagnosis alone unreliable. Rapid molecular detection helps clinicians accurate and specific early identification of RSV infections, enabling appropriate patient management, isolation precautions, and supportive care decisions. In paediatric, geriatric, and immunocompromised patients, delayed diagnosis may increase the risk of severe complications such as bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and respiratory failure.
Specific primers and fluorescent probes enable sensitive qualitative detection of RSV RNA in a streamlined single-reaction format, minimizing handling steps and improving workflow efficiency.
An Internal Control validates extraction and amplification performance reducing the likelihood of false-negative results.
Validated across multiple leading real-time PCR systems including QuantStudio 5, Bio-Rad CFX96, Roche LightCycler 480, and RapiCycler 96 platforms.
The kit includes RSV Primer & Probe Mix, Positive Control Template, qRT-PCR Master Mix, and RNase/DNase Free Water for simplified assay setup and standardized testing workflows.
