Monkeypox Virus and Orthopoxvirus ValuPanel™ Reagents are separately delivered probes and primers for PCR detection of the monkeypox virus and non-variola Orthopoxvirus species.

Since May 2022, cases of monkeypox have been rising in non-endemic countries around the world, and WHO expects that more cases of monkeypox will be identified as surveillance efforts expand. Monkeypox virus is a double-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes the cowpox, variola (which causes smallpox) and vaccinia viruses (used in the smallpox vaccine).

Product details

Monkeypox Virus and Orthopoxvirus ValuPanel Reagents are separately delivered probes and primers for PCR detection of monkeypox virus DNA and non-variola Orthopoxvirus species DNA. The oligonucleotide sequences are referenced by the CDC. Please visit the CDC website for information about the PCR protocols. All primers and probes are HPLC purified and delivered in dried format at 20 nmol of each primer and 5 nmol for each probe. The probes are labelled with FAM dye and BHQ quencher. Probes and primers are delivered in separate tubes and are not premixed.

The Monkeypox Virus and Orthopoxvirus ValuPanel Reagents consist of the following:
