Research overview
We perform quantitative analysis of viral DNA using a multiplex real-time PCR assay. Testing can be conducted on a variety of clinical specimens, including blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, vesicular fluid, throat swabs, and umbilical cord samples.
Real-time PCR offers high analytical sensitivity and enables the simultaneous early detection of multiple viruses, facilitating evaluation of the association between diverse clinical conditions and viral infections.
