EZ-PRRSV™ MPX 4.0
The EZ-PRRSV™ MPX 4.0 test features:
The EZ-PRRSV™ MPX 4.0 test is a
real-time RT-PCR diagnostic reagent
for the specific detection and
differentiation of North American
(NA) and European-like/Lelystad
(EU) PRRS viral RNA from swine
serum, semen, blood, and oral fluid
samples.
Simultaneous detection and differentiation of NA and
EU PRRS viral RNA with Inhibition Control (IC), all in
one test.
Improved upon previous Nextgen PRRSV multiplex
assay but with new real-time reagents, added primers
and probes for broader detection and a larger sample
volume.
Broader detection of PRRSV strains by targeting
multiple conserved genetic regions of the PRRS virus.

What is new?
• Total run time of 1:22 h (run time depends on instrument).
• Complete differentiation of NA and EU PRRSV genotypes:
• each type has it own reporter dye.
• double infections with NA and EU PRRSV can be detected in one
reaction.
• Lower price.
• Higher tolerance to inhibition factors.
• Higher template volume.
• Control Set (Cat# TC-9061-096)
• NA and EU positive controls and Inhibition Control (IC).
• Quantification Standards (Cat# TC-9062-001)
• Prediluted NA and EU IVT standards with concentrations from 1e5 to
1e2 copies/µl, dilution buffer (if lower concentration standard is
desired) and IC.
• The purpose of standards is to create a standard curve for qPCR.

Iowa State University PRRS Oral fluid study 2012
(Dr. J Zimmerman and Chris Olsen)
• 90 pigs (40 to 50 pounds) were vaccinated with MLV PRRSV vaccine and placed into
a PRRSV‐negative barn 14 days post vaccination to create pens of 25 pigs each with
known PRRSV prevalence of 0, 4%, 12%, 20% and 36%.
• The oral fluid samples were collected then tested by PRRSV RT‐PCR at 6 cooperating
laboratories, and the data was analyzed for the probability of a positive PRRSV
RT‐PCR result as a function of:
(1) The number (prevalence) of viremic pigs in a pen.
(2) The cumulative time the viremic pigs interact with the rope during a 30 minute
collection period.
(3) The level of viremia in the positive pigs.
(4) The PRRSV oral fluid PCR protocol and laboratory performing the assay.

Oral fluid collection from pigs
1. Use cotton rope
2. Adjust length to pig size
3. Extract fluid from rope
4. Pour fluid into a tube  chill or freeze
5. Submit to lab for testing
±75% of pigs in a pen
of 25-30 will interact
with the rope in 20-30
minutes
