InviScreen® Norovirus Detection Kit provides a real-time RT-PCR method for the qualitative detection of norovirus genogroups I (GI) and II (GII) in food samples. The method is based on ISO 15216 and detects specific regions in the conserved 5′ end of the ORF1-ORF2 junction. The method is applicable to test samples of foodstuffs and surface swabs. The kit includes Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) as a process control virus and its respective primer and probe sets, according to the ISO standard. The detection of amplified DNA fragments is achieved using different fluorescence channels (FAM, HEX/VIC and Cyanine 5) available in common PCR thermocyclers. Under optimal conditions, the kit provides highly sensitive detection of at least 10 copies of norovirus GI and GII.
