Influenza A Virus Detection and Monitoring Kit

Qualitative detection and differentiation of Influenza A H1, H3 and H1N1pdm09 subtypes from respiratory specimens by multiplex real-time RT-PCR.

IVD-D CE Qualitative UMS Compatible · Multiplex · 1-mix · 3 targets · 4-channel · 96-well · 24/48/96 reactions

Clinical Use

Qualitative detection and differentiation of Influenza A H1, Influenza A H3 and Influenza A H1N1pdm09 targets in nucleic acid extracts from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, nasopharyngeal aspirate/lavage, bronchoalveolar lavage and sputum samples. Designed for use by trained professional users in the clinical laboratory environment.

This test is designed for qualitative detection. Cq values may be reported as supplementary information but must not be interpreted as a quantitative viral load.

Validated Instruments

  • Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch
  • HiMedia InstaQ96
  • Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5
  • Qiagen Rotor-Gene Q 5plex

On QuantStudio 5 the HEX channel is reported as VIC — both labels refer to the same internal control fluorophore.

Performance

Typical LoD is in the range of 100–500 copies/mL in extracted samples. Target-based LoD values are documented in the performance evaluation report. Cross-reactivity has been tested against Influenza B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, seasonal coronaviruses, hMPV, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza 1–4, Rhinovirus, Enterovirus, M. pneumoniae, S. pneumoniae and other off-panel Influenza A subtypes; no cross-reactivity was observed.
