ANCHOR Monkey-/Orthopoxvirus PCR Kit
Qualitative Real-Time PCR Kit
Research Use Only (RUO)

The ANCHOR Monkey-/Orthopoxvirus PCR Kit is a specialized real-time PCR-based test designed for the precise amplification, detection, and differentiation of nucleic acids specific to:
◽ Monkeypox virus
◽ Other members of the Orthopoxvirus genus including the variola vaccine strain (Modified-Vaccinia-Ankara Virus, MVA)
Key Features & Advantages
Rapid Results
Achieve efficient sample processing with PCR results within just 30 minutes*, critical for research applications.
* Exact PCR run time may vary depending on real-time PCR instrument used.
Precise Qualitative Detection and Differentiation
- Uses distinguishable fluorescent dyes for the simultaneous and highly specific detection and differentiation of monkeypox virus and orthopoxvirus-specific DNA and the Internal Control across three detector channels of real-time PCR instruments.
- Allows differentiation of current vaccine strain (Modified-Vaccinia-Ankara Virus, MVA) from monkeypox virus
- Reliably detects all current clade I and II strains (w/o differentiation)
Integrated Quality Monitoring
- Includes an Internal Control (IC) to verify sample extraction success and detect PCR amplification inhibition.
- Features a Positive Control with artificial DNA representing target sequences of monkeypox and orthopoxvirus.
- Comes with a Negative Control DNA to ensure reagent integrity and reaction performance and exclude false positive results.
Optimized for Efficiency & Flexibility
- Compatible with all ANCHOR PCR kits in the same run (harmonized temperature profiles)
- Intuitive and identical pipetting scheme for all ANCHOR PCR kits
- Works with various nucleic acid purification systems and cycler platforms for cost efficiency and operational ease
- 100-reaction kits include 4x 25-reaction Master Mix vials to reduce freeze-thaw cycles
