Rubella-Q Real-Time PCR Kit

Product Overview

Rubella is a contagious disease caused by a virus. Most people who get rubella usually have a mild illness, with symptoms that can include a low-grade fever, sore throat, and a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Rubella can spread through direct contact with the saliva or mucus of an infected person or through the air by respiratory droplets produced from coughing or sneezing, with symptoms often appearing two to three weeks after exposure.

To address this important research need, Genes2Me introduces the Rubella-Q Real-Time PCR Kit, used for the detection of Rubella virus specific RNA in human sputum, saliva, and swab samples based on real time PCR technology. The assay is intended to be performed by a laboratory professional in a research laboratory.

Targets:
Rubella Virus Specific RNA
Technology:
Real-Time PCR (Multiplex)
Detection:
Qualitative (Detected / Not Detected)
Sample Type:
Sputum, Saliva, Throat Swab
Certification:
RUO (For Research Use Only)
Rubella-Q Real-Time PCR Kit

How the Assay Works

The Rubella-Q Kit is designed for the detection of the Rubella virus from RNA extracted from human research samples using real time PCR technology. The kit contains a primer probe mix with specifically designed primers and probes for the Rubella virus and the Internal Control RNase P. The qRT-PCR Master Mix includes Taq polymerase enzyme, dNTPs, and PCR buffer, enabling specific amplification of a conserved region of the Rubella virus genome. This kit provides direct detection of the Rubella target in the FAM channel, with the Internal Control RNase P detected in the HEX channel.

Clinical Relevance

Rubella can cause a miscarriage or serious birth defects in a developing baby if a woman is infected while she is pregnant, making timely identification of infection particularly important during pregnancy. The best protection against rubella is the MMR (measles mumps rubella) vaccine, and there is no treatment to get rid of an established infection, though medications may help with symptoms. Rapid molecular detection of Rubella virus RNA supports research into transmission dynamics, outbreak investigation, and vaccination program effectiveness.

Sample Type & Reporting Output

Sample Type:
Sputum, Saliva, Throat Swab
Reporting Output:
Qualitative detection of Rubella virus specific RNA (Detected / Not Detected)
Targets Detected:
Rubella virus specific RNA and Internal Control (RNase P) in a single multiplex reaction

Key Features & Benefits

Reliable Multiplex Detection

Direct detection of the Rubella virus target (FAM) alongside the Internal Control RNase P (HEX) in a single multiplex reaction.

Integrated Internal Control

The Internal Control RNase P confirms sample integrity and PCR performance in every run, supporting confidence in qualitative result interpretation.

Versatile Sample Compatibility

Designed for sputum, saliva, and throat swab samples, supporting flexible, minimally invasive sample collection for Rubella screening.

Flexible Compatibility

Validated on leading Real-Time PCR platforms including Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 5, Bio-Rad CFX96, Roche LightCycler 480, and Genes2Me RapiCycler 96.

Single Tube Multiplex Detection

The kit has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture and remains stable until the labeled expiration date when stored as specified.

Applications

  • Screening sputum, saliva, and throat swab samples for Rubella virus RNA in suspected cases presenting with fever, sore throat, and rash
  • Research supporting timely identification of Rubella infection in pregnant women, given the risk of miscarriage and congenital birth defects
  • Outbreak investigation and epidemiological surveillance studies tracking Rubella virus transmission and spread
  • Research evaluating the effectiveness of MMR (measles mumps rubella) vaccination programs
  • Academic and public health research studying Rubella virus biology and disease epidemiology

With the Rubella-Q Real-Time PCR Kit, research laboratories can achieve sensitive, specific, and dependable screening for Rubella virus RNA across multiple sample types. By supporting rapid identification of this contagious virus, the kit helps researchers generate timely, informed insights for Rubella research, surveillance, and vaccination program evaluation. Empower your laboratory with the Rubella-Q Real-Time PCR Kit, because rapid molecular insights can make a lasting difference in research outcomes.
