WHATfinder Recovery Efficiency – ISO15216 compliant foodborne virus experimental process control RTqPCR kit
- Format: 50 Tests
- Code: PVW05A-50
- Technology: Real-Time PCR
- Application: Food/Water virology
- Tag/Filter: Foodborne viruses
Norovirus (NoV tipo I e II) and Hepatitis A virus (HAV) represent an emerging problem for food safety. These foodborne viruses are insidious and few virions elicit a dangerous infection. Virions vitality persists till two weeks after shedding in the enviroment, thus largest part of the diagnosed infections results from consumption of water or contaminated food primarily mussels and clams, fresh vegetables and berries. PCR is the only technology detecting HAV and NoV and in 2013 an ISO norm for standardizing the experimental method was issued. According to the ISO15216, in order to validate an unknown sample as negative to a virus, it is necessary to monitor the recovery and detection yield through a specific process control. This kit is aimed to perform the process controlling in full compliance to ISO15216 indications. It contains: Feline Calicivirus (FCV) a virus equivalent to the Mengo virus and allowed by the norm (see ISO 15216 Annex D) - Real-Time PCR reagents for FCV and Mengovirus detection.
