Mpox and Other Emerging Viruses - a rapidmicrobiology Special Focus


New viruses can emerge at any time, and as recent outbreaks have demonstrated they can present challenges for diagnostic professionals. From SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), Hantavirus: Nipah, Zika, Marburg to the Mpox virus, rapidmicrobiology.com showcases some currently available options for assay developers and diagnostic teams to help detect these 'novel' viruses.

Accurate diagnostics start from reliable sample collection, Puritan offer a range of dry swabs suited to the swabbing of Mpox lesions, together with optional viral transport media. Once at the lab, the protection of technical staff is a high priority, Tianlong's new Panall 8000 is a safe and easy-to-operate, complete workflow automation system from sample decapping through to PCR result analysis.

A PCR Biosystems application note details how to use a multiplex probe-based qPCR assay, using Clara™ Probe Mix, with a standard and fast cycling program set up to detect the Monkeypox (MPXV) virus and identify the viral strain.

BioPerfectus' Marburg Virus Real-Time PCR Kit can be used in laboratory settings to quickly and accurately detect RNA from the Marburg virus. Discover in a recent rapidmicrobiology podcast how Bioperfectus are able to quickly bring molecular diagnostics to market in response to outbreaks.

Need to ensure your assay kit is performing correctly in your laboratory? ZeptoMetrix® NATtrol™ molecular controls are ready-to-use, non-infectious whole organisms suitable for assay kits developers and routine testing labs - ideal for checking that your extraction and amplification procedures are correctly executed. Microbiologics is a leader in high-titer viral stock production, supporting the development and validation of vaccines, therapies, and assays for Mpox and other emerging viruses. Plus they offer custom assay services for a wide range of viruses within certified BSL-2 and BSL-3 biocontainment laboratories.

For vaccine researchers, Sino Biological has released the recombinant antigens for the 2023-2024 influenza vaccine strains, plus an extensive collection of monoclonal antibodies against the flu antigens are available to support the development of relevant assays and diagnostic kits.
