The Zika virus belongs to F/aviviridae, novel single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. Zika virus is believed to be transmitted to humans by infected Aedesspecies mosquitoes. Studies indicated that Zika virus has been endemic in Africa and Southeast Asia. The outbreak of Zika fever began in April 2015 in Brazil, and subsequently other countries in South America, Central America and the Caribbean.

• Short turn around time Included pre-treatment within 3 hours Reduced contamination by single tube supplied • Master mix format Enables reduced hands-on time • Excellent analytical accuracy RT-PCR detection of Zika virus RNA in serum and urine specimens (patient-matched specimen) Through dual target detection Endogenous internal control can be applied sample preparation careGENE™ Zika Virus RT-PCR kit can detect Zika specific region encoding envelope protein using Taqman probe based RT-PCR system. The enzyme mixture contains reverse transcriptase and Taq DNA polymerase for the one step real...
