The AMPIPROBE HCV assay kit is a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay for the quantitative detection of human hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in plasma or serum. The proprietary primer mix included in the kit is specific for HCV genotypes 1 through 6. The kit includes titered high, medium, and low HCV controls which enable virus quantitation in IU/mL. In addition, the kit contains an extraction control to ensure proper sample nucleic acid extraction. Enzo's AMPIPROBE technology incorporates probe detection technology in primer design. It employs a combination of fluorescent reporter-labeled primers and quencher-labeled primers to amplify DNA, akin to traditional PCR. When free in solution, fluorescent primers generate a signal. Applications: qPCR. Species reactivity: Hepatitis C virus.
