The I-Screen KHV Nested PCR Test will detect KHV DNA in the mucus of the fish. Unlike the regular PCR test, with the I-Screen test there is no need to kill the fish to test it for KHV.

This nested PCR KHV test works by rapidly and sensitively detecting the Koi Herpes Virus using nucleic acid-based isothermal amplification (IA). IA is not a new technology, and has been around since 2000. The test works in three main stages, extraction, amplification and finally post-amplification detection. One huge benefit the I-Screen test provides is that you are able to administer the test "on-site", meaning you will have your result within 3 hours. The I-Screen Nested PCR KHV test has a 99% accuracy rate.
