Meridian Bioscience™ Alethia™ HSV 1 and 2 DNA Amplification Assay

Description

Includes

25 Tests each for HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for direct detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 in cutaneous and mucocutaneous lesion specimens.

illumigene HSV 1&2 utilizes loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) to detect HSV-1 and HSV-2. Results are available in less than one hour to reduce turn around time, eliminate send-out costs and aid in same day diagnosis, treatment and counseling of patients.

• Results in less than one hour
• High sensitivity and specificity improves accuracy of diagnosis
• Testing requires <2 minutes of hands-on time
• Expanded molecular menu
• Reduce cost and increase profitability
• No capital expense or service contract required
• Moderately complex with minimal hands-on time
• Small footprint, easily adaptable to any laboratory

Specifications:

• HSV-1 Sensitivity: Cutaneous: 94.1%, Mucocutaneous: 95.0%
• HSV-2 Sensitivity: Cutaneous: 100%, Mucocutaneous: 98.6%
• HSV-1 Specificity: Cutaneous: 97.2%, Mucocutaneous: 94.9%
