DiAGSure® Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV6) TaqMan PCR Kit

Intent to use:
Human Herpesviruses 6 and 7 (HHV-6 and HHV-7) are widespread viruses that typically infect individuals in early childhood. They are the primary cause of roseola infantum (sixth disease), characterized by high fever followed by a sudden rash. While often self-limiting, these viruses can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals, leading to severe complications such as encephalitis, pneumonitis, hepatitis, bone marrow suppression, and graft rejection—particularly in transplant recipients. Co-infection with both viruses may further complicate clinical outcomes. Early and accurate detection is essential for guiding treatment and monitoring high-risk patients. The DiAGSure® HHV-6/7 Multiplex PCR Kit is a highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay that enables simultaneous detection of HHV-6 and HHV-7 DNA. The assay features ready-to-use reagents, internal controls, and compatibility with standard PCR platforms—delivering rapid, reliable, and comprehensive diagnostics for clinical and research settings.

Key Specifications:
 Simultaneously detects Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and Human Herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7).
 Supports differential diagnosis in cases of fever of unknown origin, CNS disorders, and post-transplant complications.
 High sensitivity and specificity ensure accurate detection of both viruses, even in co-infections or low viral load samples.
 Multiplex design streamlines detection of HHV-6/7 in a single assay, saving time and reagents.
 Robust performance across diverse viral strains with mutation-tolerant primer-probe design.
 Pre-formulated Master Mix with internal control ensures minimal handling and low contamination risk.
 Fully compatible with major real-time PCR systems and validated for clinical use with CDSCO approval.

Sample types:
Cerebrospinal fluid, Whole blood or blood culture, stool and throat swabs.
