Prodesse ProParaflu+ Assay
An easy-to-use real-time multiplex RT-PCR kit for detection and differentiation of
- Parainfluenza 1
- Parainfluenza 2
- Parainfluenza 3
The parainfluenza viruses are second only to RSV in causing lower respiratory disease in children. Parainfluenza 1 is the leading cause of croup. ProParaflu+ offers laboratories, clinicians and their patients an important tool for the diagnosis and differentiation of viral respiratory disease.
Results in as little as 4 hours
Like all of Prodesse's products, the ProParaflu+ assay uses proven real-time PCR technology, ensuring that accurate test results are delivered quickly and easily. The test's compatibility with automated nucleic-acid extraction technology minimizes hands-on time and expedites results. All the reagents you need, except water, are included in the kit.
Easy to use and implement in the lab
Designed to run on standard molecular diagnostic equipment, the ProParaflu+ assay has a simple workflow that makes it easy to implement and validate. A common RNA Internal Control allows a single nucleic-acid extract to be used in any combination of Prodesse's respiratory RNA virus Assays.
