Intended Use
The Feline Herpesvirus-1 Real-Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the qualitative detection of Feline Herpesvirus-1 DNA or RNA extracted from feline conjunctival, ocular, and upper respiratory swab samples. The kit aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of FHV-1 infection in cats.
Principle of the Assay
This kit utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology with specific primers and fluorescent probes targeting conserved regions of the Feline Herpesvirus-1 genome.
During amplification, the probe hybridizes to the target sequence and emits fluorescence, which is detected by compatible real-time PCR instruments. The increase in fluorescence signal is proportional to the accumulation of amplified product, allowing accurate detection of the virus.
