Equine herpesvirus (EHV)

ID Gene Lyo™ Equine herpesvirus 1 and 4 Triplex

PCR

Real-time PCR kit for the qualitative detection of equine herpesvirus-1 and 4 in equine respiratory swabs, whole blood and organs from aborted foal of equids.

The ID Gene Lyo™ Equine Herpesvirus 1 and 4 triplex kit is a qPCR detection kit that amplifies target genome sequences of 2 viruses responsible for equine rhinopneumonitis:

  • a target sequence specific to equine herpesvirus-1 in the FAM™ channel,
  • a target sequence specific to equine herpesvirus-4 in the VIC®/HEX™ channel.

This kit is a qualitative Triplex test provided with a freeze-dried amplification reaction mixture that allows, for each sample, simultaneous amplification of target DNA sequences as well as an exogenous non-target positive control NTPC-EHV1/4 (Cy5 channel).
This kit can be used to test respiratory swabs, whole blood and organs from aborted foal of equids.

Advantages

Specifications

Format

Excellent performance
  • Triplex qPCR to detect simultaneously EHV-1 and EHV-4 with an internal control
  • High sensitivity : LDPCR < 10copies/PCR for both viruses
  • Validated according to the French standard U47-600-2 on swabs, organs and whole blood
  • Direct lysis protocol validated for swabs and organs
  • Excellent inclusivity obtained on 39 strains including Valencia 2021 strain
  • Excellent exclusivity tested on 15 equine respiratory pathogens
Convenient and easy to use
  • Freeze-dried reagents allowing for shipping at room temperature: easier, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly
