Virusys has developed a highly sensitive and specific enzyme immunoassay for the detection of Herpes Simplex Type 1 antigen in complex sample matrices derived from both human and veterinary sources. The assay can be completed in less than 2 hr.
The test kit incorporates proprietary diluents that are designed to both lyse virions and prevent the development of nonspecific signal derived from complex sample matrix effects and/or the nonspecific adsorption of reactive test components, resulting in improvements in both sensitivity and specificity. In addition, the positive control can be diluted serially to produce a calibration curve for quantitation of HSV-1 antigen.
Two- and five-plate test kits are available in a standard photometric detection format (H1K237-2 or H1K237-5).
