摘要:
Amplification primers, hybridization probes and associated assay methods of the invention allow the detection and quantification of enterovirus nucleic acids. A broad range of enteroviruses serotypes may be detected. The amplification methods are highly specific and selective for enterovirus, compared to rhinovirus nucleic acids, for example. Further, the high sensitivity and speed of the assay allows detection of fewer than 500 copies of enteroviral genomes in as little as one hour.
摘要:
Nucleic acid amplification primers and methods for specific detection of influenza A and influenza B nucleic acid targets are disclosed. The primer-target binding sequences are useful for detection of influenza A and influenza B targets in a variety of amplification and hybridization reactions. The oligonucleotide sequences are able to differentiate between influenza A and influenza B strains through specific hybridization to one or the other virus strain, enabling specific detection of the presence of influenza A and/or influenza B in a specimen.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of ensuring the effectiveness of the extraction workup from a biological sample of nucleic acid. The inventive method is able to distinguish between possible defects in the extraction of nucleic acid from a sample and possible defects in a subsequent amplification step. The present invention also relates to a packaged array for extracting nucleic acid from a biological sample.

摘要:
A full process control for use with a molecular assay and a method of determine the efficacy of the molecular assay. A full process control can include a fixed cell, and specifically can include a fixed vegetative cell. A method of determining the efficacy of a molecular assay can include providing an internal control, mixing the internal control with a sample, lysing the internal control and the sample, and detecting the lysis product. The full process control and/or the internal control can be Bacillus subtilis cells.
