ZikaQ Real-Time PCR Kit

Qualitative Detection of Zika Virus RNA

The ZikaQ Real-Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) molecular diagnostic assay designed for the qualitative detection of Zika virus RNA from human clinical samples.

This assay enables rapid and accurate molecular detection of Zika virus through a standardized automated Real-Time RT-PCR workflow, supporting timely diagnosis and appropriate clinical management of Zika virus infection.

Product Overview


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

The kit detects:

  • Zika virus RNA
  • Internal Control (IC) for assay validation and quality assurance

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

Why Zika Virus Testing Matters


Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes and has emerged as a significant global public health concern. Although many infections are asymptomatic or present with mild symptoms, Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause severe congenital abnormalities, while neurological complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome may occur in adults.

Early and accurate molecular diagnosis is essential for prompt clinical decision-making, patient monitoring, outbreak surveillance, and differentiation from other arboviral infections with similar clinical presentations.

The ZikaQ Real-Time PCR Kit helps laboratories to:

Targets Detected
