assay, direct, nucleic acid amplification, q fever |
| Regulation Description |
Rickettsia serological reagents. |
| Definition |
These reagents are nucleic acid primers and probes intended for the amplification and identification of Coxiella burnetii directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of Q Fever and provides epidemiological information on this disease. This reagent differs from the description in the regulation in that it consists of nucleic acid primers and probes rather than antisera or antigens. |
| Physical State |
A kit that contains reagents and an instrument that measures flourescence. |
| Technical Method |
The Q Fever assay uses a real-time thermocycler. A real-time thermocycler is intended to identify and/or quantify the presence of specific sequences of double stranded DNA, amplified from a biological source and labeled with fluorescently labeled probes or through the use of intercalating dyes and detect using a high-power light-emitting diode (LED). Fluorescence emission is detected through the use of filters on a photodiode. The emission filters are optimized for use with specific fluorescent dyes. |
