Cowingene Monkeypox Virus Detection Kit (NATBox)

The Cowingene Monkeypox Virus Detection Kit (MPXV Detection Kit) is intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) in Lesion material (swabs of surface or exudate, or crusts), Anorectal swab, Oropharyngeal swab, and provides aid to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with Mpox virus infections.
Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a zoonotic virus in the family Poxviridae, genus Orthopoxvirus. The virus causes a disease in humans that is similar to smallpox, but results in a lower case-fatality rate. With the eradication of smallpox and widespread discontinuation of smallpox vaccination, human monkeypox has re-emerged as a human health threat with major outbreaks occurring in 1996-1997 and 2022. More recently, MPXV was found to be the cause of a cluster of cases of disease in many countries.

The MPXV Detection Kit is performed on the NATBox System. It is an automated in vitro diagnostic test system.
The NATBox Systems automate and integrate sample preparation, nucleic acid extraction and amplification, and detection of the target sequences in samples. The systems require the use of single-use cartridges that hold the PCR reagents and host the PCR process. Because the cartridges are self-contained, cross-contamination between samples is minimized. For a full description of the system, please see the product manual of NATBox System.
