The Hepatitis B Virus Real Time PCR Kit is a real-time PCR research assay for the quantitative analysis of HBV DNA in research samples (serum, plasma).

HBV is the pathogen of hepatitis B and belongs to the family Hepadnaviridae. It has a partially double-stranded and circular DNA with a genome length of about 3.2 kb. Hepatitis B is a blood-borne disease and is mainly transmitted through blood (such as unsafe injection), parturition (mother-to-child transmission), and sexual contact.

HBV can infect people all year round without a fixed prevalence period but always leads to sporadic cases. In recent years, the incidence of hepatitis B has increased significantly. HBV mainly causes inflammatory hepatitis lesions and may damage many organs. A few patients may develop cirrhosis or liver cancer.
