Sapovirus is a distinct genus within the family Caliciviridae; these viruses cause sporadic cases and outbreaks of gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. Sapovirus has a typical "Star of David" configuration by electron microscopic examination. The prototype sapovirus is the Sapporo virus (Hu/SaV/Sapporo virus/1977/JP). Sapovirus is divided into 5 genogroups, among which only genogroups I, II, IV, and V are known to infect humans.

The BioPerfectus Sapovirus Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the detection of RNA from the Sapovirus. Specimens can be obtained from human stool.

• Internal control ensures that the whole process reliably 
• Auto interpretation result with STC real-time PCR system
• Compatible with multiple mainstream PCR instrument
• No cross-reactivity with other pathogens
