New arrival: Multiplex Real Time PCR Kit for HPV E6/E7 mRNA Genotyping

Medicon Hellas announces that from July 1, 2024, it is the authorized exclusive distributor in Greece and Cyprus for Uni-Medica, a company specializing in the production of specialized molecular diagnostic reagents.
The diagnostic value of molecular detection of HPV virus mRNA is undeniable and has until now been a high-cost test. In response to the market's increasing demand for more affordable solutions without compromising the quality and sensitivity of the diagnostic test, Medicon offers a comprehensive and economical solution for the molecular detection of HPV virus mRNA (E6/E7) and the simultaneous genotyping of 15 of its subtypes.
The Uni-Medica kit we offer has advantages over existing solutions to date because:

1. The kit provides full mRNA (E6/E7) typing for each of the 15 total subtypes of the virus from one tube (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68) as opposed to competitive products where typing is not performed simultaneously with mRNA detection.
2. It provides complete isolation of total DNA/RNA from the clinical sample, which is then incubated with DNases to remove DNA, ensuring that only the virus mRNA (if present in the sample) is detected, unlike competitive products that use different protocols and may selectively amplify viral DNA, leading to false positive results.
3. It is applicable to a wide range of biological materials such as semen, urine, and anal swabs, not just liquid-based cytology.
4. For all results, it provides fluorochrome analysis and quantitative measurement curves (Ct values) as opposed to automated solutions where the results are given by the software without the possibility of assessment by the scientific staff, making it impossible to check a potential incorrect software assessment.
5. The kit is CE-IVD marked and is compatible for use with Bio-Rad CFX96 TouchTM/iQTM 5, Hongshi SLAN-96S/96P, and PCR instruments with a melting curve function in the FAM, VIC, ROX, and CY5 channels.
6. Shelf life of 12 months, storage at -20°C, stable up to 5 freeze-thaw cycles, results in 2.5 hours, available in 48 and 96 test packages.
