AsperGenius Species Multiplex (IVD)
PN-001Contact us for more information.
Overview
AsperGenius® is a multiplex real-time PCR assay developed by PathoNostics. It rapidly diagnoses Aspergillus infections and simultaneously identifies azole resistance. Within 2,5 hours, detection and characterization is accomplished in lower respiratory tract samples of Aspergillus infected patients. AsperGenius® allows for timely, targeted antifungal treatment resulting in reduced toxic side effects and improved treatment outcome in these patients.
The AsperGenius® multiplex PCR assay is suitable for real-time PCR instruments using melting curve analysis and has been validated on LightCycler 480 (Roche), Rotor-Gene 6000 (Corbett) and Rotor-Gene Q (Qiagen).
