The Lassa fever virus is an RNA virus that belongs to the Arenaviridae family and causes Lassa fever, a severe hemorrhagic illness endemic to parts of West Africa. Primarily transmitted through contact with the urine or droppings of infected rodents, particularly the multimammate rat (Mastomys natalensis), the virus can also spread via person-to-person transmission, especially in healthcare settings. Symptoms of Lassa fever can range from mild fever and fatigue to more severe manifestations such as bleeding, respiratory distress, and neurological complications. Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and prevention of outbreaks.

Product Details FAQ Specification Instructions

The kit selects the highly conserved region of Lassa virus, and designs two pairs of specific primers and probes. The primers and probes can specifically bind to the target sequence. Under the action of Taq enzyme, the fragment is specifically amplified. Hydrolyzed during amplification, resulting in fluorescence. The detection system sets an internal control, which is a highly conserved region on the human genome, and monitors the entire process of specimen collection, transportation, nucleic acid extraction, and PCR amplification to avoid false negative results and ensure the effectiveness of the entire process.


Broad Applicability: Suitable for testing serum, plasma, and whole blood samples.

High Sensitivity: Achieves a detection sensitivity of 500 copies/mL, validated across three different reagent batches.

Strong Specificity: No cross-reactivity with various common pathogens, including EB virus, Coxsackievirus B1, Enterovirus 70, Human Metapneumovirus, Moraxella catarrhalis, Influenza A (H1N1), Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

High Accuracy: Enables rapid detection of the Lassa virus with a 100% positive and negative agreement rate based on reference sample testing.

Simple Operation: Fully enclosed-tube PCR amplification and detection to prevent aerosol contamination.
