RevoDx Respiratory-5 Pathogen Detection Kit
Molecular diagnostics are transforming the detection and treatment of respiratory tract infections by enabling precise pathogen identification. This innovative approach allows healthcare providers to accurately determine the specific viruses or bacteria responsible for infections, facilitating targeted treatment options. Historically, diagnosis relied on symptoms and physical examinations. Now, with molecular diagnostics, clinicians can analyze genetic material from pathogens in patient samples like sputum or nasal swabs. By detecting unique DNA or RNA sequences, they can accurately identify the infection’s cause, leading to better-targeted therapies and improved patient outcomes.
Intended Use
RevoDx Respiratory-5 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-9 Pathogen Detection Kit:
Features
- Multiple targets (5 targets in 2 tubes)
- Human RNase P as an internal control
- CE-IVD marked
- Assay duration: 60 mins
- Diagnostic specificity is ≥ 99 %
- No cross-reactivity with the potential cross-reactive markers shown using both in silico analysis and wet testing.
