MGB Alert® VZV

Varicella-zoster virus causes the primary disease varicella (chickenpox), and herpes zoster (shingles) upon reactivation of the virus later in life. Complications from VZV can be severe, including encephalitis and hemorrhagic conditions, and occur in high risk groups such as those on immunosuppressive therapies or with immunodeficiencies.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.
