Atila HIV Assay Kit
The Atila HIV Assay is a real-time reverse transcription assay test for the in vitro quantitative detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) RNA in human plasma or serum. This test is not intended for use as a screening test for HIV or an aid in diagnosis of infection with HIV.
The Atila HIV Assay Kit is intended for use by qualified and trained laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time nucleic acid amplification and in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Each kit includes 100 tests.
This product is for research use only.
Atila HIV Assay Kit
The Atila HIV Assay Kit is a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay based on a proprietary technology developed to improve the efficiency of detecting multiple viral nucleic acid targets simultaneously by reducing non-specific interactions and amplifications.
DNA oligos are designed to specifically detect and discriminate HIV RNA. The assay does not discriminate the HIV genotypes. The test also includes an Internal Control (IC) for monitoring test performance in each individual test.
The Atila HIV Assay Kit is intended for use by qualified and trained laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time nucleic acid amplification and in vitro diagnostic procedures.
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) belongs to the genus Lentivirus and can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). According to World Health Organization (WHO), there are approximately 38 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the world. Two types of HIV have been characterized: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is more virulent and more infectious, and most cases worldwide are caused by HIV-1. HIV-1 genome consists of two identical single-stranded RNA molecules that are approximately 9200-9600 nucleotides long.
HIV-1 is transmitted by exposure to contaminated blood or blood and plasma products, exposure to certain body tissues or fluids, by sexual contact or by an infected mother to the newborn child.
