DiAGSure® Mumps Virus Detection Kit

Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Mumps Virus Detection Kit is a real-time PCR assay designed for the specific and sensitive detection of Mumps virus RNA in clinical samples. Mumps is a contagious viral illness that primarily affects the salivary glands, causing painful swelling, fever, headache, and fatigue. Though largely vaccine-preventable, outbreaks still occur—especially in under-vaccinated populations, college campuses, and close-contact environments. Complications such as orchitis, oophoritis, meningitis, and hearing loss can arise in both children and adults, highlighting the need for early and accurate diagnosis. The DiAGSure® assay enables rapid detection of Mumps virus during acute phases of infection, supporting timely clinical management, outbreak control, and epidemiological tracking. With high sensitivity and specificity, the kit ensures diagnostic confidence in symptomatic and outbreak cases, making it ideal for use in hospitals, public health labs, and surveillance programs.
