The ANCHOR CMV PCR Kit is a specialized real-time PCR-based test designed for the amplification, detection, and quantitation of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA from human specimens, specifically EDTA plasma.

Key Features & Advantages

Rapid Results

Achieve efficient sample processing with PCR results within just 30 minutes*.
* Exact PCR run time may vary depending on real-time PCR instrument used.

Precise Qualitative Detection

• Uses distinguishable fluorescent dyes for parallel and highly specific detection of CMV DNA and the Internal Control across two detector channels of real-time PCR instruments.

• The Quantitation Standards (QS1-QS4 CMV) are calibrated against the 1st WHO International Standard for Human Cytomegalovirus (NIBSC code 09/162).

• When used as a complete set, they ensure reliable results for clinical diagnostics and precise viral load monitoring.

Integrated Quality Monitoring

• Includes an Internal Control (IC) to verify sample extraction success and detect PCR amplification inhibition.

• Quantitation Standards serve as positive controls with artificial DNA representing target sequences of CMV to ensure reagent integrity and reaction performance.

• Comes with a Negative Control DNA to exclude false positive results.

Optimized for Efficiency & Flexibility

• Compatible with all ANCHOR PCR kits in the same run (harmonized temperature profiles)

• Intuitive and identical pipetting scheme for all ANCHOR PCR kits

• Works with various nucleic acid purification systems and cycler platforms for cost efficiency and operational ease

• 100-reaction kits include 4x 25-reaction Master Mix vials to reduce freeze-thaw cycles
