The AltoStar® RT-PCR Kits 1.5 are developed for the simultaneous testing of pathogens by harmonized cycling conditions and enabling the identification of clinical pathogen using the AltoStar®Molecular Diagnostic Workflow. The AltoStar® HCV RT-PCR Kit 1.5 is designed for reliable viral load monitoring of HCV infected patients.
The AltoStar® HCV RT-PCR Kit 1.5 is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the detection and quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) specific RNA (genotypes 1 to 6) in human EDTA plasma and serum.
The AltoStar® HCV RT-PCR Kit 1.5 consists of: Two Master reagents (Master A and Master B), four Quantification Standards (QS1 - QS4) and a No Template Control (NTC).
Product not licensed with Health Canada and not FDA cleared or approved. Kit not available in all countries.
