DiAGSure® Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) Detection Kit

Catalog No.: GDQ6055-20R; GDQ6055-50R; GDQ6055-100R

Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® HMPV Detection Kit is a real-time PCR assay designed for the specific and sensitive detection of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), a leading cause of acute respiratory tract infections across all age groups. HMPV primarily affects young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, often causing bronchiolitis, pneumonia, wheezing, and asthma exacerbations. Clinically, HMPV infections mimic those caused by RSV and influenza, making laboratory confirmation essential for accurate diagnosis and outbreak management. The DiAGSure® assay targets conserved regions of the HMPV genome, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity across circulating strains. Early detection supports timely clinical intervention, reduces unnecessary antibiotic use, and aids in the implementation of infection control measures in hospital and community settings. This kit is ideal for use in pediatric hospitals, ICUs, and public health surveillance programs during respiratory virus season.
