Easy-to-Use
NucliSENS EasyQ hMPV Reagents and platform can easily be used in outine procedures by laboratories*. Full technical support is offered through the bioMérieux network.
* NucliSENS EasyQ hMPV is for "Research Use Only" and is intended to be used in research laboratories. This product is not intended to be used in diagnostic procedures.
Conclusive
The kit generates a conclusive and consequently truly useful result. A positive result means that hMPV RNA is present in the nucleic acid extract. A negative result is systematically validated by the presence of an internal homologous control, providing a high level of quality assurance.
Same-day result
The total turn-around-time from extraction to final result is approximately 3 hours, giving a rapid result for earlier decision making.
High Sensitivity and Specificity
The sensitivity of this assay is at least 10 copies of in vitro transcribed human metapneumovirus RNA per amplification reaction.(1)
No cross-reactivity was shown for RNA of PIV 1, PIV 2, PIV 3, PIV 4, RSV A, RSV B, SARS CoV, Influenza A, Influenza B, indicating that the assay is specific for hMPV RNA.(1,2,3)
