HIV-1 Viral Load Real Time (RG)
There are certain situations in which the direct detection of T.gondii is advisable, in order to confirm Toxoplasmosis diagnosis and adopt a therapeutic conduct. This is the case of the confirmation of acute infection during pregnancy, congenital toxoplasmosis in newborns or children or the reactivation of a chronic infection in immune-depressed patients. In these situations, PCR is an important diagnostic tool, which allows directly detecting the parasite’s DNA in an easy, fast and specific way. Our TOXO kit allows detecting the presence of T.gondii´s DNA in blood or amniotic fluid specimens, with an analytical sensitivity of 40 fg of DNA per PCR reaction.
ATGen HIV-1 Viral Load Real Time (RG) kit is specific for the detection and quantification of genomic RNA from Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1. HIV genome copy number is directly related to the number of free viral particles present in the sample and, when using plasma samples as a source for viral RNA, this kit allows Viral Load determination. The system is specially optimized for its use in Rotor-GeneTM 3000 or Rotor-GeneTM 6000 (Corbett Research) real time platforms.
