Meningitis test kit RTS076PLD

enterovirusplasmacerebrospinal fluid

Enteroviruses are ubiquitous viruses responsible for a wide range of mild and severe diseases, and leading causes of viral meningitis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Rapid meningitis testing is crucial, especially in transplant patients, to quickly set up an appropriate treatment for meningitis and rule out bacterial infection. Enterovirus ELITe MGB® Kit is a one step, reverse-transcription and real-time PCR assay designed for the detection and quantification of Enterovirus RNA. The assay is CE-IVD approved according to the new European IVD Regulation 746/2017 (IVDR) with plasma collected in EDTA and Cerebrospinal Fluid specimens in association with ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius® sample-to-result instruments, offering fully automated solution to enhance clinical decision-making and patient care. Benefits Conserved targets 5’ UTR region of enterovirus and MS2 phage genomic RNA as an internal control One-step format Reverse transcription and PCR amplification within the same run Best-in class technology ELITe MGB probes designed with Minor Groove Binder, Superbases® and Eclipse® Dark Quencher Integrated workflow Fully automated process for extraction, amplification and result analysis with ELITe InGenius Quantitative result Copies/mL (cp/mL) Storage of standard curve 60 days Eluate storage - Additional testing including multiple PCR from the same eluate, retesting or archiving Minimal hands-on time - Less than 2 minutes per sample from extraction to result analysis Complete transplant menu - Complete transplant pathogen monitoring range
