Molecular Diagnosis: Pathogen Detection & Identification
Kits are available for the PCR/Real-Time PCR analysis of diverse clinical materials. All kits are complete solutions, including (i) manual DNA extraction (spin column-based), (ii) PCR or Real-Time PCR detection of sequences from bacteria and fungi and (iii) primers for the sequencing-based identification of etiological agents of diseases.
Products for IVD (98/79 EC):
- Whole blood - SepsiTest™ is a kit for the diagnosis of organisms causing sepsis. For the analysis, only 1 ml samples of EDTA or citrate-stabilised whole blood are necessary.
- Body liquids - UMD™ Liquid allows the identification of bacteria and fungi in primary body liquids, including CSF, BAL, sputum and synovial aspirates.
- Swabs - UMD™ Swab processes and analyses pathogens from swabs taken from, for instance wounds, organs, bones, prostheses and teeth.
- Tissues & biopsies - UMD™ Tissue aids in the rapid diagnosis of etiological agents of diseases using a variety of tissues, including specimens from skin, abscesses, bones, organs, heart valves, biopsies, stents and pacemakers.
- Broad-range of specimens - UMD™ Universal is particularly useful when the type of specimens frequently changes, including blood, body liquids, swabs and tissues.
