The Influenza A and B Viruses Real Time PCR Kit provides a multiplex PCR test for flu, enabling qualitative detection of Influenza A and Influenza B virus RNA in a single assay. It is designed for clinical specimens including throat swabs, nasal and pharyngeal secretions, and cell culture supernatant.

This influenza test kit uses target-specific real-time PCR detection for Flu A and Flu B and includes an internal control to monitor the testing process. The combined format helps laboratories perform influenza A and B PCR testing without running two separate assays.

• Multiplex Flu A/B detection: Detects target-specific RNA from Influenza A and Influenza B viruses in one real-time PCR assay.
• Internal process control: Helps monitor the analytical workflow for more reliable interpretation of flu PCR results.
• Multiple respiratory specimen types: Suitable for throat swabs, nasal and pharyngeal secretions, and cell culture supernatant.
• Efficient testing capacity: Processes 96 tests in 109 minutes on compatible mainstream real-time PCR instruments.

• Target region: Influenza A and Influenza B specific RNA
• Clinical Sensitivity: 96.1% (Flu A) 97.5% (Flu B)
• Clinical Specificity: 98.7% (Flu A) 98.2% (Flu B)
• Limit of detection: 2.0 TCID₅₀/mL
• Sample input volume: 5μL
• Sample type: RNA in clinical specimens, including throat swab, nasal and pharyngeal secretions and cell culture supernatant

The kit supports professional influenza testing where qualitative detection of Flu A and Flu B RNA is required. Applications include:

• Flu A and B differential testing: Simultaneous detection of Influenza A and Influenza B RNA in a single assay, supporting both Influenza A PCR and Influenza B PCR testing for patients evaluated for influenza infection.

• Respiratory specimen testing: Analysis of throat swabs and nasal or pharyngeal secretions collected for routine molecular testing.

• Laboratory and culture workflows: Testing of clinical respiratory specimens and cell culture supernatant on compatible real-time PCR platforms.
