定量檢測巨細胞病毒(CMV)的分子診斷檢測方法現在歐盟地區用于診斷用途。

Qiagen公司(Hamburg, Germany)已經宣布，該公司的CMV多聚酶鏈反應(PCR)檢測試劑盒已經獲得了CE標記，現在已經可以在歐洲投入使用。CMV屬于皰疹病毒家族。

免疫抑制的患者容易患嚴重的CMV感染，危及生命。Artus CMV PCR檢測試劑盒能夠早期檢測CMV，這是一個很重要的成功治療的影響因子。該試劑盒能夠快速定量檢測CMV DNA，可以用于Abi Prism、LightCycler和Rotor-Gene3000檢測系統。

New Tests for CMV Available in EU
 
Molecular diagnostic tests for the quantitative detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) are now available for diagnostic use in the European Union.

Qiagen (Hamburg, Germany) has announced that its artus CMV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits have received the CE Mark and can now be used in Europe. CMV belongs to the herpes virus family.

Immunocompromised patients often develop severe CMV infections resulting in life-threatening diseases. Artus CMV PCR kits enable early detection of CMV, which is an essential factor for successful treatment. The kits assure rapid and quantitative detection of CMV DNA and are suitable for use with the Abi Prism and LightCycler instruments and Rotor-Gene3000.
