The 2019-nCoV Molecular Diagnostic Kit is a TaqMan probe real-time fluorescent PCR to qualitatively detect ORF1ab and N genes nucleic acid of 2019-nCoV in throat swab, saliva in patients with respiratory infection symptoms and close contacts. In this kit, primers and probes of real-time fluorescent PCR technology are designed to the conserved and specific regions of the ORF1ab and N gene...
BRUSSELS—Austria went into a major lockdown on Monday to try to break the strong fourth wave of Covid spreading across Europe, while the German health minister, Jens Spahn, warned that by the end of this winter“just about everyone in Germany will probably be either vaccinated, recovered or dead.” While countries with high vaccination rates—including Portugal, Italy, and Spain—have experienced an u...
As winter approaches and infections rise across Europe,Europe has again become the epicentre of the pandemic, prompting some countries to consider re-introducing restrictions in the run-up to Christmas and stirring debate over whether vaccines alone are enough to tame COVID-19. Austria will impose a lockdown for all and make vaccinations mandatory, Chancellor Alexander Sch...
A physical exam is often performed, followed by diagnostics such as blood tests or mucus samples to confirm infection and determine the source pathogen. Another diagnostic tool that physicians use is the chest X-ray. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) produce quick result in less than approximately 15 minutes and are simple to perform. Thus, RDTs may be used to help with diagnostic and treatment decisi...
Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection that affects the lungs. Any infection causing an inflammatory response in the lung is referred to as pneumonia. Though the majority of pneumonia is caused by bacterial infections, viral infections like influenza or COVID 19 virus can also affect the lungs and can cause serious inflammatory damage to them as evidenced in the ongoing pandemic. Pneum...
Dengue virus belonging to the Flavavirus group of viruses, is one of the most significant mosquito-born diseases in the world in terms of morbidity and mortality. Transmitted principally by the mosquito types Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, the virus is found commonly throughout the tropic and subtropic regions of the world. There are four known serotypes of dengue. Symptoms of dengue fever in...
The Advanced Quality One Step Malaria (P.F) Test is a colloidal gold enhanced immunoassay for the determination of plasmodium falciparum malaria in human whole blood2. A monoclonal antibody (anti-HRP II) is immobilized in the test region on nitrocellulose membrane. During the assay the HRP-11 which is released by lysed red blood cells are selectively to react with the colored conjugate (antibody-c...
The Advanced Quality™One Step Malaria (P.F) Test is a rapid,immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of the specific soluble protein,histidine-rich protein II(pf HRP II)1, which is present in, and released from,infected red blood cells.The presence of pf HRP can be detected within 15 minutes at the concentration of 200para/µI or higher.The assay does not require additional instrum...
This Antigen Rapid Test Kit uses immunochromatography for detection. The specimen will move forward along the test card under capillary action. If the specimen contains a novel corona virus antigen, the antigen will bind to the colloidal gold-labeled new corona virus monoclonal antibody. The immune complex will be captured by corona virus monoclonal antibodies which are membrane fixed form the fuc...
