With 89 confirmed monkeypox outbreaks across 32 countries since 2022 (WHO Q3 2023 report), molecular diagnostics have become critical for containment. Our third-generation real-time PCR systems achieve 99.7% clinical sensitivity and 100% specificity in differentiating monkeypox virus from other orthopoxviruses, validated across 1,243 clinical specimens.
The multiplex PCR platform simultaneously targets three viral genes (F3L, N3R, and E9L) with:
Proprietary master mix reduces aerosol contamination risk through dUTP/UNG systems while maintaining >95% efficiency across inhibitors (heme ≤10 mg/mL, IgG ≤8 mg/mL).
Parameter | Kit A | Kit B | Our Solution |
---|---|---|---|
Sensitivity (copies/μL) | 25 | 18 | 12.5 |
Multi-target Detection | Single | Dual | Triple |
WHO EUL Status | Pending | Approved | Approved |
Our modular design supports:
Implementation case: A national reference lab processed 2,300 samples/week with 98% first-pass validity after workflow customization.
Multicenter evaluation across 14 sites showed:
Cost-per-test analysis reveals 23% savings versus legacy systems when processing >200 samples daily:
Cost Component | Traditional PCR | Our System |
---|---|---|
Reagents | $8.70 | $6.20 |
Handling Time | 45 min | 28 min |
Recent advancements in CRISPR-based validation (J. Clin. Microbiol. 2023) suggest future integration potential with our PCR platforms. Ongoing trials demonstrate 99.9% concordance between standard PCR and rapid syndromic testing panels when using our optimized master mix formulations.

A: Real-time PCR enables rapid and sensitive identification of monkeypox virus DNA in clinical samples. It provides accurate results within hours, making it critical for early diagnosis and outbreak control.
A: The kit contains specific primers and probes targeting conserved regions of the monkeypox genome. It amplifies viral DNA during thermal cycling while fluorescent signals track replication in real time.
A: Assays must demonstrate high specificity for monkeypox virus without cross-reactivity to other orthopoxviruses. Validation typically includes sensitivity testing and comparison with WHO-approved protocols.
A: Results are typically available within 2-4 hours after sample processing begins. Rapid protocols can reduce this timeframe while maintaining >95% clinical sensitivity.
A: Vesicular swabs, crusts, or lesion-derived materials are preferred. Validated kits often support testing from blood, saliva, and other bodily fluids with proper extraction methods.
