KIT DESCRIPTION:

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV):

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a highly contagious dsDNA virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. The virus's genome consists of a large, linear double-stranded DNA molecule of approximately 152 kbp. There are two main types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 primarily causes oral herpes, while HSV-2 is mainly associated with genital herpes, though both types can infect either area. The virus establishes lifelong latent infections in nerve cells and spreads through direct contact with infected bodily fluids or mucous membranes. Symptoms include painful blisters or sores, though many infections are asymptomatic. HSV can cause serious complications, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and neonates. Due to the virus's widespread prevalence, accurate and rapid detection is crucial for proper patient management and preventing transmission.

Positive Control: The positive control (PC) is a synthetic control in the kit containing 1x103 copies/µL of every target in the panel. Using a positive control from the same lot as the reagent kit is recommended.

Exogenous Control (EC): The Exogenous Control (EC) is a whole organism control containing 0.2x105 copies/µL of a non-pathogenic gram-positive bacterium. This control should be spiked into a sample volume ranging from 200 ?L to 1 mL before the nucleic acid extraction, or extraction free processing. Detection of EC verifies the successful DNA extraction reaction and confirms the bacterial DNA extraction and amplification reaction.

Endogenous Control (RNaseP): Primers for RNAseP consistent expresses across different sample types, including human tissues and clinical specimens. Detection of RNAseP is indication of adequate sample collection quality, and PCR amplification. This internal control ensures the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic results by confirming the presence of human genetic material in the sample and validating the assay performance.
