Rotavirus PCR screen
Test code:
S0130 - Ultrasensitive qualitative screen for rotaviruses by
reverse transcription coupled real time polymerase chain
reaction. This screen detects but does not differentiate many
common strains of rotavirus.
Utilities:
-
Help confirm the disease causing agent
-
Help ensure that animal colonies are free of rotaviruses
-
Early prevention of spread of these viruses among a
colony
-
Minimize personnel exposure to these viruses
-
Safety monitoring of biological products and vaccines
that derive from primates
Specimen requirement: 0.2 ml feces, or rectal swab.
