VIASURE Trypanosoma cruzi Real Time PCR Kit (96 tests, LP) by Certest. Lyophilised, ready-to-use format with internal control for detection of Trypanosoma cr...
The VIASURE Trypanosoma cruzi Real Time PCR Detection Kit is a qualitative real-time PCR assay developed by Certest Biotec for the detection of Trypanosoma cruzi in clinical specimens. The kit is designed for the molecular diagnosis of Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis), a life-threatening neglected tropical disease endemic in Latin America; chronic infection leads to cardiomyopathy and gastrointestinal complications.
Each reaction well contains a complete lyophilised master mix including all primers, probes, and an internal control (IC) to monitor PCR inhibition — eliminating the need for separate reagent preparation. The kit is compatible with leading open-system real-time PCR thermal cyclers and uses the same thermal protocol across the VIASURE range, simplifying workflow in multi-assay laboratories.
Intended use: Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi from whole blood and buffy coat specimens.
Key features:
- Lyophilised, ready-to-use format — stable at room temperature for transport and storage
- Internal control included in every reaction well to monitor inhibition and extraction efficiency
- Targets conserved satellite DNA and kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) sequences of T. cruzi
- Same thermal cycling protocol across all VIASURE kits for simplified laboratory workflow
- Compatible with multiple open-system real-time PCR platforms
- Low-profile (LP) strip format, compatible with most standard real-time PCR thermal cyclers
