1) Ready to use PCR kits swine flu H1N1 and other Influenza viruses:  as DOC

Ready to use PCR kits for Influenza viruses  (particularly H1N1) and related micro organisms*: 

Here are the best tools to do the research:

A). Swine flu Virus: 
Genekam developed her own assays for  molecular detecting of  various  kinds of H1N1 strains  in gel agarose, we are also developing assays for real time PCR. If one understands the H1N1 strains of influenza viruses correctly  and  keep in mind recent outbreak  strains , these H1N1 strains  can be divided  in 3 classes: 1) H1N1 strain of recent outbreak (so called novel strain of H1N1 of swine origin) 2) seasonal H1N1 strain (so called novel strain of H1N1 of human origin) 3. H1N1 strain of swine circulating in swine populations.   There are a number of research laboratories, which are  focusing and making publications for detecting two strains i.e. Class 1 and 2, therefore Genekam has decided to bring one kit to genotype them along with bringing a number of assays to detect H1N1 strain of recent outbreak of swine flu. Such kits are needed to understand the distribution of such viruses  properly  and may help to generate more accurate preventative measurements along    with perhaps providing better  understanding to find better  therapies, hence these kits can be used in research work. Genekam has developed the solutions, which are highly specific to detect only the recently outbreak H1N1 virus  like California, Mexico, New York, Texas, Canada, Hamburg, Regensburg, Italy, Norway, Beijing, Shanghai, South Australia, Louisiana, Victoria, Chile, Thailand, Korea, Ankara, Philippines, Bayer, Catonia and other strains.  We have developed the assays, which can detect N1 part of influenza A viruses like H1N1, H5N1, H6N1, H7N1 etc.  Genekam kit needs only isolated RNA to conduct the assay and this contains  components like PCR master mix, polymerase, positive control, negative control, primers, buffers, loading dye, generuler etc. In order to develop a highly specific assay for recent H1N1 virus, one must understand the influenza viruses very deeply along the good knowledge of software  tools, therefore we have decided to offer the following ready to use PCR kits based on gel agarose:

1. Kit K736     Ready to use PCR kit to detect H1N1 of swine origin of recent outbreak (single check)   100 reactions    Euro 799,-

This kit is in position to detect the H1N1 of swine origin of recent outbreak in samples. One can see clear beautiful bands in the gel agarose. This assay  detect only H1N1 strains and there should be no cross reactions with H3N2, H5N1; H5N3, H7N7 strains and other strains. This is not available in literature. This is Genekamīs own development.

2. Kit K746    Ready to use PCR kit to detect H1N1 of swine origin circulating in swine (single check)    100 reactions    Euro 799,-

This assay should be used to detect H1N1  of swine origin in the samples of  animals like pigs.  This assay cannot detect recently outbreak H1N1 strain (so called Novel H1N1 of swine origin). 

3. Kit K794    Ready to use PCR kit to detect the H1N1 of human origin (single check)    100 reactions    Euro 799,-

This assay can detect  H1N1 of human origin  (also known as seasonal H1N1 or novel H1N1 of human origin) in the cell cultures, nasal or other samples.  This does not detect the recently outbreak  H1N1  virus.

4. Kit K745    Fluhunter 3X: Ready to use PCR kit to detect and genotype three different kinds of H1N1 (recently outbreak swine flu virus or Novel H1N1 of swine origin, seasonal H1N1 or Novel virus of human origin and H1N1 virus of swine origin)    100 reactions    Euro 1499,-

This assay can detect the different strains of recent outbreak like different strains of Mexico, California, New York, Italy, Regensburg, Hamburg, Canada, Texas, Bayer, Rio de Janero etc.  

10. Influenza H3N2: Ready to use kit to detect H3N 2  infection    Kit 122d    100 Reactions    Euro 999,-

11. Kit K416 Ready to use PCR kit to detect recent outbreak H1N1 of human origin and reconfirming the N1 part of H1    100 reactions    Euro 899,- 

This assay can be used to detect the H1N1 strain of recent outbreak swine flu virus and reconfirming the N1 part of this virus. This is two in one assay. This assay is Genekamīs own development.

B). Genekam developed new solutions like our real time Fluhunter FR060 kit for Influenza A kit, which can detect specially H1N1 strains (also swine flu strains of Mexico, California, Regensburg, Hamburg, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Texas, Canada etc), H3N2 strains along with other strains of Influenza A  like H5N1, H9 and others. 2. Similarly our old kits 203A (sold for last 4 years on the market) for Influenza A can also detect  recent outbreak strains  of H1N1 along with other influenza strains.   3. Our kits can be used to write the PhD thesis for human and veterinary medicine  (including dental medicine). They can be  used  to compare the quality of the laboratories own assays. These kits offer excellent chance to do more research in the field of influenza viruses.
