New Delhi: Medical devices company, Trivitron Healthcare, announced that it has developed the Real-Time PCR-based kit for the detection of Monkeypox (Orthopoxvirus) virus. The World Health Organization's Country Office for India recently requested the help of the ICMR-National Institute of Virology in Pune to test suspected cases of Monkeypox for SEAR member-states. Monkeypox has become a disease of global public health importance, as it not only affects countries in West and Central Africa, but is also spreading at a fast pace globally.
For the response measures such as tracing efforts and treatment strategies, the diagnostic tools are crucial for responding to control the emerging public health challenges. Research & Development team of Trivitron Healthcare has developed a RT-PCR based kit for the detection of Monkeypox virus.
Trivitron's Monkeypox Real-Time PCR Kit is four colour fluorescence based kit, which can differentiate between Smallpox and Monkeypox in a one tube single reaction format, with total turnaround time of 1 hour. In this four gene RT-PCR kit, first target detects the viruses in the wider orthopox group, the second and third targets detects and differentiates the Monkeypox & Smallpox virus respectively and the fourth target detects the internal control corresponding to human cell to address the assay performance and aid in following its epidemic spread. This kit is available as Research-Use only (RUO) and based on literature search and in-silico design.
