Anchor Monkey-/Orthopoxvirus PCR Kit

Rapid Results

Achieve efficient sample processing with PCR results within just 30 minutes*, critical for research applications. * Exact PCR run time may vary depending on real-time PCR instrument used.

Precise Qualitative Detection and Differentiation

• Uses distinguishable fluorescent dyes for the simultaneous and highly specific detection and differentiation of monkeypox virus and orthopoxvirus-specific DNA and the Internal Control across three detector channels of real-time PCR instruments.
• Allows differentiation of current vaccine strain (Modified-Vaccinia-Ankara Virus, MVA) from monkeypox virus
• Reliably detects all current clade I and II strains (w/o differentiation)

Integrated Quality Monitoring

• Includes an Internal Control (IC) to verify sample extraction success and detect PCR amplification inhibition.
• Features a Positive Control with artificial DNA representing target sequences of monkeypox and orthopoxvirus.
• Comes with a Negative Control DNA to ensure reagent integrity and reaction performance and exclude false positive results.

Optimized for Efficiency & Flexibility

• Compatible with all ANCHOR PCR kits in the same run (harmonized temperature profiles)
• Intuitive and identical pipetting scheme for all ANCHOR PCR kits
• Works with various nucleic acid purification systems and cycler platforms for cost efficiency and operational ease
• 100-reaction kits include 4x 25-reaction Master Mix vials to reduce freeze-thaw cycles
