Some advantages of this kit are:
- High sensitivity, allowing the detection of minimum quantities of DNA. This constitutes a great advantage for clinical samples containing scarce amounts of viral molecules.
- Simultaneous detection of multiple viruses present in a single sample.
- High specificity, due to the use of a sequence corresponding to a highly preserved region within the viral genome, and binding probes specific to each human herpes and enterovirus type.
- Easy to standardize in a hospital laboratory.
- Fast: Results of the analysis are obtained in 8 h.
