Mumps RQ kit provides a ready-to-use Real-Time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test designed for detecting Mumps RNA. All required reagents are included in the RT-PCR Mix provided in the kit. This Mix also contains a different series of primers and probe for detecting a synthetic DNA sequence. The kit supplies this synthetic DNA sequence as an Internal Control (IC). The IC can be used either during extraction or in the PCR reaction to prevent false negative results due to failure in the above steps.
