RevoDx Respiratory-24 Pathogen Detection Kit
Molecular diagnosis of respiratory tract infections is transforming how we detect and manage these prevalent illnesses. By leveraging advanced technologies, scientists can now pinpoint the specific pathogens responsible for respiratory infections with remarkable precision. This enables healthcare providers to make more informed decisions, prescribing targeted treatments that improve patient outcomes. Traditionally, diagnosis relied on symptoms and physical exams alone. However, molecular diagnostics now allow clinicians to analyze genetic material from viruses or bacteria in patient samples, such as sputum, nasal swabs, or throat swabs. By identifying the unique DNA or RNA sequences of pathogens, healthcare professionals can accurately determine the infection’s cause, paving the way for personalized and effective treatment.
Intended Use
RevoDx Respiratory-24 Pathogen Detection Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection and identification of nucleic acids of the specific bacterial and viral pathogens from human nasopharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swab, nasopharyngeal aspirate/lavage, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial aspirate (BAS), sputum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of respiratory infection.
The following pathogens are detected by RevoDx Respiratory-24 Pathogen Detection Kit:
