MERS-Q Real-Time PCR Kit

Qualitative Detection of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) RNA

The MERS-Q Real-Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) molecular diagnostic test designed for the qualitative detection of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) RNA from respiratory tract clinical samples.

This assay enables rapid and accurate molecular detection of MERS-CoV through a standardized automated Real-Time PCR workflow, supporting timely diagnosis and appropriate clinical management of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

Product Overview

The MERS-Q Real-Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay based on advanced Real-Time PCR technology. The assay performs automated RNA extraction and amplification using the OnePCR Ultra-Fast RT PCR System.

The kit detects:

  • Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) RNA
  • Internal Control (IC) for assay validation and quality assurance

The assay utilizes a single-tube multiplex Real-Time PCR format to accurately detect MERS-CoV RNA in an automated sample-to-result workflow.

Why MERS Testing Matters

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a severe viral respiratory disease caused by the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Patients commonly present with fever, cough, and shortness of breath, while pneumonia is frequently observed in severe cases. Some infected individuals may remain asymptomatic despite testing positive, making reliable molecular diagnosis essential for disease surveillance and infection control.

The MERS-Q Real-Time PCR Kit helps laboratories to:
