ARGENE has the great pleasure to inform you about the availability of BK Virus R-gene kit.

Quantitative Real Time PCR with the BK Virus R-gene™ kit is a fast and sensitive method for the detection and quantification of BK virus.

Viral load measurement and follow-up in renal transplant patients with BKV associated nephropathy enables us to adapt the treatment (only immunosuppressive treatment or in combination with antiviral drugs).

The BK Virus R-gene™ kit enables the quantification of BK virus in Real Time PCR after viral DNA extraction. BK Virus R-gene™ is a user-friendly and complete kit and therefore ideal for routine diagnostics.

The kit has been clinically validated on many types of specimen in combination with numerous DNA purification systems (automatic and manual) and amplification platforms.
Thanks to a general amplification program for the entire range of R-gene™ kits, the sample analysis can be simultaneously run for all other DNA viruses: JCV with JC Virus r-gene (ref:71-004) Adenovirus with Adenovirus R-gene™ kit (ref.: 69-010B), CMV with CMV R-gene™ kit (ref.: 69-003B), CMV, HHV-6, HHV-7 and HHV-8 with CMV HHV6,7,8 R-gene™ kit (ref.: 69-100B), EBV with EBV R-gene™ kit (ref.: 69-002B), HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV with HSV1 HSV2 VZV R-gene kit (ref.: 69-004B).
Results are validated with all necessary controls (including an internal extraction control) provided with the kit.

ARGENE has the great pleasure to inform you about the availability of BK Virus R-gene kit.
Quantitative Real Time PCR with the BK Virus R-gene™ kit is a fast and sensitive method for the detection and quantification of BK virus.
