This kit uses RT-PCR for in vitro detection of chikungunya virus in serum, plasma, and other samples. Test results may serve as a reference for clinical evaluation of chikungunya virus infection.
The test uses pathogen-specific gene sequences as PCR target regions. Human genomic sequence is used as internal quality control.
Only one step for nucleic acid processing, reducing operations to direct PCR sample processing and amplification. Turnaround time is less than 35 minutes.
