alphaCube
alphaCube is a qualitative in vitro test for the specific detection of DNA or RNA in human sample material.
General information
alphaCube is a qualitative in vitro test for the specific detection of DNA or RNA in human sample material. It uses specific primers and a probe for the real-time PCR amplification and detection of DNA or RNA. alphaCube test systems are characterized by high safety and reliability with maximum sensitivity and specificity.
