The Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is similar to the Hepatitis A virus (HAV) and represents an emerging problem for food safety. Virions vitality persists till two weeks after shedding in the enviroment, thus largest part of the diagnosed infections results from consumption of water or contaminated food primarily mussels and clams, fresh vegetables and berries. PCR is the only technology detecting HEV in food but unlike HAV no ISO norm was enforced so far. This Real-Time kit detects the presence of HEV using oligo sequences indicated in scientific literature. In analogy to ISO15216, in order to validate an unknown sample as negative to a virus, it is necessary to monitor the recovery and detection yield through a specific process control. This kit includes the process control to spike the sample and also the oligo to detect it in the second fluorescence channel in compliance to ISO15216 indications.
