Gastrointestinal disease test kit GI Norovirus PLUS ELITe MGB®

norovirusstoolDNA analysis

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 Norovirus PLUS ELITe MGB® Kit is a qualitative multiplex nucleic acids Real-Time PCR assay, able to detect the RNA of Norovirus belonging to genogroup GI and GII (typed by melting analysis). 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 targets - NV1-NV2: Polyprotein - Best-in-class PCR technology - ELITe MGB probes designed with Minor Groove Binder, Superbases® and Eclipse® Dark Quencher - Sample - Stool - Integrated workflow - Fully automated process including extraction, amplification and result analysis with ELITe InGenius® & BeGenius® - Eluate storage - Additional testing including multiple PCR from the same eluate, retesting or archiving - Universal pretreatment - Preanalytical routine is reduced to 15 minutes per sample thanks to the universal GI pretreatment solution - Minimal hands-on time - Hands-on time reduced to less than two minutes per sample - Complete menu - GI Bacterial PLUS ELITe MGB Kit, GI Parasitic PLUS ELITe MGB Kit & GI Viral PLUS ELITe MGB Kit* (* in development) Ordering information: - Product Name: GI Norovirus PLUS ELITe MGB Kit - Description: GI-Norovirus PLUS PCR Mix 8 tubes, 12 reactions each - Reference: RTS500ING - Product Name: GI Norovirus ELITe Positive Control - Description: 3 tubes, 4 reactions each - Reference: CTR500ING - Product Name: CTRCPE – Internal Control - Description: 4 tubes, 12 reactions each - Reference: CTRCPE - Validated under IVDR standards using human stool specimens - Compatible with ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius® systems - Qualitative multiplex nucleic acids Real-Time PCR assay - Detects Norovirus RNA (genogroup GI and GII)
