Cowingene Monkeypox Virus Detection Kit (Lyophilized)

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 adopts the method of PCR amplification combined with fluorescent probes, to select the conserved regions specific to Monkeypox Virus as the detection target genes, and an endogenous internal control is introduced as a quality control of the kit.
