Genes2Me unveils RT-PCR-based kit for Monkeypox virus detection

Gurugram-based Genes2Me has developed the Real-Time PCR-based kit for quick detection of Monkeypox virus with a fast turnaround result time of less than 50 minutes.

This kit is available in both the standard version for any commonly available Real-Time PCR instruments as well as Point-of-Care format on Genes2Me Rapi-Q HT Rapid RT-PCR device. 

Scientists from Genes2Me have been able to develop 'POX-Q Multiplexed RT-PCR kit' for the detection of Monkeypox virus along with differentiation from Varicella Zoster Virus (Chicken Pox) in a single tube multiplex reaction format. First, of its kind `Made in India' product, this kit is available as Research-Use only (RUO) and based on the Gold standard Taqman chemistry-based RT PCR method.
