DSQ Alert™ BK Virus 3.0
BKV is the main cause of nephropathy following kidney transplant and severe urinary tract complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. BKV is common in the population, and virus levels should be monitored in BKV-positive transplant recipients.1
Our analyte specific reagents§ feature:
- Thoughtfully designed primers and probes
- Primers and probes manufactured according to FDA and cGMP requirements

Benefits
Innovative. MGB Alert reagents utilize our original minor groove binder probe technology, and feature flexibility of PCR-based detection and/or melt curve analysis. DSQ Alert™ reagents now incorporate our proprietary duplex stabilizing quencher (DSQ), a next step in MGB probe chemistry.
Flexible. Our reagents can be used on the ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius™ instrument systems, and on most open channel platforms. Let us help create the right workflow for your lab.
Responsive. We frequently anticipate and nimbly respond to market needs as they arise. Let us know what you’d like to add to your own real-time PCR menu.
