Which sample materials can be tested using the artus Infl./H1 LC/RG RT-PCR Kit?

The artus Infl. A/B/H1 QS-RGQ Kit is a multiplex reverse transcription–real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in vitro diagnostic test for the separate qualitative detection and identification of influenza A and/or influenza B virus RNA and influenza A – H1 Pandemic 2009 strain (H1pdm2009) RNA purified from human nasal swab specimens The artus Infl. A/B/H1 QS-RGQ Kit is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of viral upper respiratory tract infection in symptomatic patients when used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. This diagnostic test is configured for use with the QIAsymphony Sample Preparation (SP)/Assay Setup (AS) modules and Rotor-Gene Q MDx 5plex HRM instruments for target amplification and detection.

The artus Infl./H1 LC/RG RT-PCR Kit is a ready-to-use molecular detection kit for real-time PCR. The kit includes a reaction mix containing all reagents and enzymes for amplification and detection of all known influenza A and B viruses. In addition, the kit contains an extra reaction mix for the specific identification of influenza A (H1N1) virus.
