The Virplex® Acanthamoeba RealTime PCR Kit is a multiplex real-time PCR assay designed for the detection of Acanthamoeba spp. nucleic acids in ophthalmological samples. This kit provides rapid and reliable identification of Acanthamoeba infections, which are a major cause of Acanthamoeba keratitis, a serious corneal disease often associated with contact lens use.
Key Features
- Multiplex PCR design – three targets detected in a single reaction tube.
- Format – 24 tests (3 individual strips of 8 wells).
- Broad qPCR compatibility – suitable for thermal cyclers with FAM, Cy5, HEX (VIC), and Texas Red detection channels.
- Endogenous control – ensures monitoring of inhibitors, nucleic acid integrity, and amplification set-up.
- Lyophilized reagents – master mix and positive control for long-term stability and simplified transport.
-
Fast results – turnaround time of ~1 h 30 min.
- Research Use Only (RUO) – intended for laboratory and research applications.
Applications
- Detection of Acanthamoeba spp. in ophthalmology and vision-related research.
- Molecular diagnostics for Acanthamoeba keratitis in suspected eye infection cases.
- Epidemiological studies of protozoan eye infections.
- Laboratory training and method validation for ocular pathogen testing.
- Research use in parasitology and medical microbiology labs.
