Virplex® ZIKV/DENV/CHIKV RealTime PCR Kit

The Virplex® ZIKV/DENV/CHIKV RealTime PCR Kit is a multiplex real-time RT-PCR assay designed for the simultaneous detection of Zika virus (ZIKV), Dengue virus (DENV), and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in human serum and plasma samples. This assay performs reverse transcription and amplification of nucleic acids in a single step, providing fast, reliable, and cost-efficient results.

Available Kits

Key Features

• Multiplex detection of 4 targets – detects Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya viruses in a single reaction tube per sample.
• Internal control (MS2 RNA bacteriophage) – monitors sample RNA integrity, inhibition carry-over, and proper assay setup.
• Compatible with 4-channel qPCR cyclers – FAM, HEX (VIC), Texas Red (ROX), and Cy5.
• Fast and reliable turnaround – results in under 2 hours.
• Stability & convenience – lyophilized master mix and positive control included, minimizing cold chain requirements.
• Flexible formats – available in vial-based and pre-dispensed strip presentations to suit different laboratory workflows.

Applications

• Simultaneous detection of ZIKV, DENV, and CHIKV in human serum or plasma.
• Differential diagnosis of arboviral infections with overlapping clinical symptoms.
• Validation of in-house and commercial multiplex arbovirus diagnostic workflows.
• Public health outbreak monitoring and vector-borne disease surveillance.
• Quality control for qPCR laboratories detecting mosquito-borne viral infections.
