DiAGSure® Parainfluenza 1-4 Detection Kit (Multiplex, TaqMan Based)

Catalog No.: GDQ6163-20R, GDQ6163-50R, GDQ6163-100R

Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Parainfluenza 1–4 Detection Kit is a real-time PCR assay developed for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of Human Parainfluenza Viruses (HPIV) types 1, 2, 3, and 4. HPIVs are significant viral pathogens responsible for respiratory illnesses such as croup, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and laryngotracheobronchitis, especially in infants, young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients. Each subtype is associated with distinct seasonal patterns and clinical severity, making accurate identification crucial for timely diagnosis, clinical management, and epidemiological tracking. The DiAGSure® assay offers high sensitivity and specificity, enabling early and reliable detection from respiratory specimens. By distinguishing between HPIV types, this kit aids in effective outbreak control, patient cohorting, and infection prevention in healthcare settings. It is ideal for use in pediatric hospitals, ICUs, and respiratory surveillance programs during peak viral seasons.
