Measles is one of the most contagious viral infections worldwide, spreading rapidly through respiratory droplets in crowded environments. Symptoms appear 10 to 12 days after exposure and range from high fever, cough, and runny nose to the characteristic Koplik's spots and widespread rash. Without early intervention, measles can progress to serious complications including pneumonia, encephalitis, and in vulnerable populations, death. Traditional diagnostic methods are time-consuming and may delay critical clinical decisions, underscoring the need for rapid, reliable molecular testing.
The Measles-Q Real-Time PCR Kit from Genes2Me delivers sensitive, specific detection of measles virus RNA in a single-tube assay. It detects measles RNA directly from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, providing dependable results quickly to enable faster patient management and outbreak control.
Genes2Me is a CE Marked molecular diagnostics company trusted by clinical laboratories across global markets. The Measles-Q Kit meets European conformity standards for in vitro diagnostic devices, validated to international benchmarks for accuracy, reliability, and safety.
The Measles-Q kit uses a single-tube multiplex RT-PCR design combining Taq polymerase, highly specific primers, and fluorescent probes for accurate amplification and detection. The FAM channel detects measles virus RNA, while the HEX channel monitors the human RNase P gene as an internal control, validating extraction and amplification in every run. Positive and no-template controls are included to further guarantee assay integrity and guard against contamination.
Measles symptoms overlap significantly with other febrile rash illnesses, making clinical diagnosis unreliable, particularly in early or atypical presentations. Multiplex testing with a built-in internal control enables simultaneous pathogen detection and run validation, reducing the risk of false negatives and ensuring accurate, timely identification. This is critical for individual patient care as well as rapid outbreak containment.
Simultaneously detects measles virus RNA (FAM) and RNase P internal control (HEX) in one reaction, reducing hands-on time and minimising the risk of false negatives.
Detects viral RNA even at very low concentrations, enabling confident identification in the early stages of infection.
Both controls are supplied in every kit, guaranteeing assay integrity and minimising the risk of contamination or experimental error.
Validated on RapiCycler 96, Bio-Rad CFX96, QuantStudio 5, and LightCycler 480. No new capital expenditure required.
Pre-formulated reagents and clear procedural guidelines ensure consistent, reproducible results with minimal setup time.
Confirmed no cross-reactivity with HIV, HCV, HBV, or Staphylococcus species, ensuring precise measles-specific detection.
