Indicative Price 1,610.74 USD
General description:
The RealStar Yellow Fever Virus RT-PCR Kit 1.0 is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the qualitative detection of yellow fever virus specific RNA.
Technical specifications:
Analytical sensitivity: 0.69 copies/μl (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.41 - 1.56 copies/μl)
Analytical specificity: The analytical specificity of the RealStar Yellow Fever Virus RT-PCR Kit 1.0 was evaluated by testing a panel of genomic RNA/DNA extracted from viruses related to YFV and other pathogens causing similar symptoms. The RealStar Yellow Fever Virus RT-PCR Kit 1.0 did not cross-react with any of those pathogens.
Clinical sensitivity: 100% with 95% CI (73.5-100) %
Clinical specificity: 100% with 95% CI (92.1-100) %
Specimen type: Serum, plasma

Storage and transportation condition:
·The kit should be stored between -25°C and -15°C upon arrival.
·It is shipped on dry ice (-20°C). The components of the kit should arrive frozen. If one or more components are not frozen upon receipt, or if tubes have been compromised during shipment, contact Altona Diagnostics GmbH for assistance
·Repeated thawing and freezing of Master reagents (more than twice) should be avoided, as this might affect the performance of the assay. The reagents should be frozen in aliquots, if they are to be used intermittently.
·Storage between +2°C and +8°C should not exceed a period of two hours.
·Protect Master A and Master B from light.
