Monkey Pox
The test identifies distinctive genetic sequences unique to the monkeypox virus. Extracting genetic material from a sample, like a swab, amplifies and detects these markers, ensuring precise diagnosis of monkeypox infection.
PCR TESTING
Our Laboratory utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the precise detection of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from the monkeypox virus and other non-variola Orthopoxviruses. The PreCheck Health Services assay is specifically designed for in vitro qualitative analysis, aiming to identify these viruses accurately.
This assay serves as an essential tool for healthcare providers in diagnosing suspected cases of monkeypox virus infection. It focuses on lesion swab specimens collected from various sources like lesion crusts, lesion exudate, and the lesion surface, all contained in viral transport medium (VTM).
Our PCR-based method ensures exceptional sensitivity and specificity in detecting DNA from the monkeypox virus and other non-variola Orthopoxviruses. This accuracy is vital in providing reliable diagnostic information to aid healthcare professionals in making informed decisions promptly.
Healthcare providers utilize this assay for individuals suspected of monkeypox virus infection. The test analyzes DNA samples extracted from lesion swabs, facilitating the swift and accurate identification of these Orthopoxviruses.
At PreCheck Health Services, our commitment is to deliver precise, reliable, and efficient testing solutions that empower healthcare providers in diagnosing and managing infectious diseases such as monkeypox virus infection.
