Hepatitis B virus (HBV)
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is a partially double-stranded DNA virus that infects the liver and can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis. Chronic HBV infection significantly increases the risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Accurate and sensitive detection is essential for diagnosis, viral load monitoring, and treatment decision-making.
HBV PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a specific and sensitive method for detecting HBV DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format (for genotyping) for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays support a range of applications including chronic hepatitis monitoring from clinical samples, and antiviral therapy evaluation.
