Gastrointestinal Viral infections, impacting the digestive system, manifest through various symptoms, including diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Those most vulnerable, such as children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems, are at an increased risk. Symptoms like fever, nausea, and vomiting significantly affect patients’ well-being, with dehydration being a notable concern, especially in severe cases requiring immediate attention. Molecular diagnostic methods play a pivotal role in investigating these infections and tailoring appropriate treatments.The GI Viral PLUS ELITe MGB® Kit, a qualitative multiplex nucleic acids Real-Time PCR assay, detects and identifies genomic DNA of Adenovirus (ADV) and the genomic RNA from pathogens like Norovirus (NV), Rotavirus (RV), Astrovirus (ASV) and Sapovirus (SV). Validated under IVDR standards using human stool specimens, it integrates seamlessly with ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius®, offering fully automated sample-to-result solutions to enhance clinical decision-making and patient care.Conserved targetsNorovirus NV1 – NV2: Polyprotein GI/GII; Adenovirus F40 – F41: Hexon; Rotavirus: NSP 3; Astrovirus: Capsid protein gene; Sapovirus SV1/SV2/SV4/SV5: Polyprotein GI/GII/GIV/GVBest-in-class PCR technologyELITe MGB probes designed with Minor Groove Binder, Superbases® and Eclipse® Dark QuencherSampleStoolIntegrated workflowFully automated process including extraction, amplification and result analysis with ELITe InGenius® & BeGenius®Eluate storageAdditional testing including multiple PCR from the same eluate, retesting or archivingUniversal pretreatmentPreanalytical routine is reduced to 15 minutes per sample thanks to the universal GI pretreatment solutionMinimal hands-on timeHands-on time reduced to less than two minutes per sampleComplete menuGI Bacterial PLUS ELITe MGB Kit, GI Parasitic PLUS ELITe MGB Kit & GI Norovirus PLUS ELITe MGB KitOrdering informationProduct NameDescription ReferenceGI Viral PLUS ELITe MGB KitGI-Viral PLUS PCR Mix 4 tubes, 24 reactions eachRTS501INGGI Viral ELITe Positive Control3 tubes, 4 reactions eachCTR501INGCTRCPE – Internal Control4 tubes, 12 reactions eachCTRCPEIntended use: Qualitative multiplex nucleic acids Real-Time PCR assay for detection and identification of gastrointestinal viral pathogens.Validated for: Human stool specimens.Automation: Compatible with ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius® systems.IVDR compliant.Technical specifications / Features:Targets: Adenovirus (ADV), Norovirus (NV), Rotavirus (RV), Astrovirus (ASV), Sapovirus (SV)Sample type: StoolTechnology: Real-Time PCR, multiplex, qualitativeAutomation: Fully automated sample-to-result workflowHands-on time: <2 minutes per samplePreanalytical time: 15 minutes per sampleIVDR validatedCompatible systems: ELITe InGenius®, ELITe BeGenius®Reference: RTS501ING
