Biohelix IsoAmp® HSV Assay

The IsoAmp® HSV Assay is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test for the direct, qualitative detection of the herpes simplex viruses type 1 and type 2 in genital and oral lesions from patients suspected of having HSV infections. Traditional techniques used for the detection of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in lesions require a viral culture and take a minimum of 16 hours. As if that were not enough of a hassle, this old school method also requires a cell culture facility. The IsoAmp® HSV Assay, on the other hand, can be used to detect the HSV DNA within hours and does not require expensive instrumentation.
The purpose of this video is to provide background information on the test as well as to provide visual instruction on how to correctly perform the assay.
