Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus that infects human skin and mucosal epithelial cells. It is part of the Papillomaviridae family, and more than 200 genotypes have been identified, 14 of them are known as “high-risk” in a causal relation with cervical cancer, and with a significant proportion of neoplasms in the genital and oropharyngeal areas.

VIASURE High-Risk Human Papilloma Virus Real Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for:

• simultaneous qualitative detection of DNA from 14 high risk Human papillomavirus (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68)
• identification of the two main HPVs, HPV 16 and HPV 18, from cervical samples of individuals suspected of infection by high-risk HPV

Specifications of the analysis

VIASURE High-Risk Human Papilloma Virus Real Time PCR Detection Kit contains in each well all the components necessary for real time PCR assay (specific primers/probes, dNTPs, buffer and polymerase) in a stabilized format, as well as an internal control to monitor PCR inhibition.
