GENE X PERT HCV VIRAL LOAD ASSAY
Specimen   Plasma
Container  EDTA container
Turn-Around-Time 4 Hours

Description  The viral load of hepatitis C refers to the amount of virus present in the blood stream. Viral load tests are used to confirm active hepatitis C infection, which are helpful during treatment and to determine response.


 

HBV DNA QUANTITATIVE REAL-TIME PCR
Specimen   Plasma
Container  EDTA container
Turn-Around-Time  24 Hours

Description  HBV DNA levels in serum are useful in determining the status of chronic HBV infection, by differentiating active and inactive disease states. Patients with chronic active HBV are at greater risk for more serious liver diseases and are more infectious than patients with inactive HBV infection. This test is intended for use in conjunction with clinical presentation and other laboratory markers for the clinical management of patients with chronic HBV infection undergoing antiviral therapy.



 

HPV-HR REAL TIME DUPLEX PCR
Specimen  Cervicalswab
Container  Viral lysis medium (Truenat)

Turn-Around-Time  4 Hours 
Description  HPV-HR refers to high risk human papilloma virus. People infected with high risk HPV types for a long time are more likely to develop several types of cancers, cervical cancer being the most common. Other cancers caused by HPV-HR include cancer of vulva, vagina, penis, anus and oropharynx.




 
INFLUENZA MULTIPLEX PCR
Specimen  Throat swab/Naso-pharyngeal swab
Container  VTM/VLTM
Turn-Around-Time  24 Hours  
Description  This test is used for the qualitative detection of A, B, H1N1 and H3N2 strains of the influenza virus from nasopharyngeal and/or throat swab samples using RT-PCR.



 
JAK2 V617F MUTATION DETECTION
Specimen  Whole blood
Container  EDTA container
Turn-Around-Time  3 Days  
Description  This test is designed for the qualitative detection of the V617F mutation in the Janus Kinase 2 gene (JAK2) by real time PCR on the genomic DNA of patients suspected of myeloproliferative disorders like polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis and essential thrombocythemia.



 

SARS COV-2 RT PCR
Specimen  Oral/ Naso pharyngeal swab
Container  Viral lysis medium (Truenat)
Turn-Around-Time  4 Hours  
Description  Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS COV-2) is a strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the respiratory illness responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Truenat COVID-19 multiplex assay is used for semi-quantitative detection of SARS CoV-2 RNA in human oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab specimen that aids in detection and confirmation of SARS COV-2 infection and diagnosis of COVID-19.
 



 
TRUENAT COVID-19 MULTIPLEX ASSAY
Specimen  Oral/ Naso pharyngeal swab
Container  Viral lysis medium (Truenat)
Turn-Around-Time  4 Hours​​​​​​​  
Description  Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS COV-2) is a strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the respiratory illness responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Truenat COVID-19 multiplex assay is used for semi-quantitative detection of SARS CoV-2 RNA in human oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab specimen that aids in detection and confirmation of SARS COV-2 infection and diagnosis of COVID-19.
 



 
TRUENAT HINT PCR
Specimen  Throatswab
Container  Viral lysis medium (Truenat)
Turn-Around-Time  4 Hours​​​​​​​  
Description  The H1N1 test is performed to check for the presence of the influenza H1N1 virus (swine flu). The test is performed on a throat swab sample collected from the patient. The test provides an accurate and rapid diagnosis of swine flu.

 


 
TRUENAT HIV-1 VIRAL LOAD ASSAY
Specimen  Plasma
Container  EDTAcontainer
Turn-Around-Time  4 Hours​​​​​​​  
Description  Truenat HIV-1 viral load assay is used for the quantitative detection and diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) in whole blood/plasma. It is also used for monitoring the HIV-1 viral load in patients with HIV-1 infection.




 
TRUENAT HLA-B27 PCR
Specimen  Whole blood
Container  EDTAcontainer
Turn-Around-Time  4 Hours​​​​​​​  
Description  HLA B-27 stands for Human Leukocyte Antigen B27. HLA proteins are commonly found on white blood cells. These antigens help immune system to identify the differences between healthy body tissue and foreign substances that may cause an infection. Although most HLAs protect the body from harm, HLA-B27 is a specific type of protein that contributes to immune system dysfunction. The presence of HLA-B27 on white blood cells can cause the immune system to attack otherwise healthy cells. The presence of HLA-B27 is associated with certain autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases including: ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, etc
