HSV 1 & 2 PCR test
MGB Alert® HSV 1 & 2
Compatible with most open channel platforms
HSV-2 more commonly causes genital herpes, though both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can cause the disease. HSV can also cause much more severe disease, including nervous system and organ infection, especially in immunocompromised people.1 Discover rapid laboratory detection and identification methods for HSV 1 & 2 with quantitative HSV PCR tests.
Our analyte specific reagents§ feature:
MGB probes | DSQ probes | Eclipse Dark Quencher | Duplex Stabilizing Quencher | Pleiades probe chemistry | AquaPhluor® Dyes | Superbases
Molecular detection & identification of HSV 1 & 2
For the detection of HSV 1 & 2, our PCR tests utilize advanced molecular identification methods, employing MGB Alert® HSV technology, including MGB probes, DSQ probes, Eclipse Dark Quencher, and Duplex Stabilizing Quencher. These state-of-the-art techniques significantly improve specificity and sensitivity in identifying herpes simplex virus strains. The integration of Pleiades probe chemistry, along with AquaPhluor® Dyes and superbases, ensures precise and reliable results. MGB Alert® HSV PCR distinguishes itself for its robustness and efficiency, providing a sophisticated diagnostic solution for HSV infections. The inclusion of Eclipse Dark Quencher and Duplex Stabilizing Quencher further enhances the assay’s performance, establishing it as a powerful tool in the molecular diagnosis of HSV.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE TEST PORTFOLIO
Real-Time PCR testing for laboratories
ELITechGroup MDx set an industry standard in real-time PCR with the introduction of minor groove binder (MGB) probe technology, featured in our MGB Alert® products. MGB probe technology has long been the gold standard for hybridization probes that allow for melt curve analysis. Adding to our legacy of innovation, we now offer DSQ Alert™ probe technology, an evolution in MGB probe chemistry. Our DSQ Alert reagents feature our newest proprietary duplex stabilizing quencher chemistry in hydrolysis probes, offering enhanced signal-to-noise fluorescence and DNA duplex stability. All test reagents may be used on ELITechGroup MDx proprietary instrument systems and on most open channel platforms.
