Human Respiratory Syncytial virus (hRSV)
Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV or RSV) is classified into two main antigenic subtypes: HRSV-A and HRSV-B, and is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections, particularly in infants, young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. It can lead to bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and severe complications in vulnerable populations. Early and accurate detection is key for patient care and infection control.
HRSV PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology offer a sensitive and specific method for detecting RSV RNA in human samples together with other respiratory pathogens. These molecular diagnostics tools provide accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked versions for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) format, these multiplex PCR assays provide efficient, cost-effective, and reliable solutions for detecting common respiratory viruses in clinical and public health laboratories from clinical samples, and are suitable for applications such as respiratory virus research, epidemiological studies, and public health surveillance.
