  • Product Description
    Factor V Leiden Kit Light Cycler Instrument; Manufactured in Germany for Roche Molecular Systems, Inc. Branchburg, NJ 08876 USA; Distributed by Roche Diagnostics Indianapolis, IN 46266 USA; 03610179001. || For use with Light Cycler 2.0 instrument; The Factor V Leiden Kit allows the detection and genotyping of a single point mutation (G to A at position 1691) of the human Factor V gene, referred to as Factor V Leiden mutation, from DNA isolated from human whole peripheral blood. The test is performed on the LightCycler¿ 2.0 Instrument utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of Factor V DNA recovered from clinical specimens and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization for the detection and genotyping of the amplified Factor V DNA. The Factor V Leiden test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection and genotyping of the Factor V Leiden mutation as an aid to diagnosis in the evaluation of patients with suspected thrombophilia. The test is intended to be used on the LightCycler¿ 2.0 Instrument using the LightCycler¿ Software 4.05 or 4.1. The specimen preparation must be performed according to the workflow procedures described in the package insert.
