MRSA lyophilised RTU qPCR CE/IVD

Intended Use
Vitassay qPCR MRSA allows the qualitative detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and/or methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCoNS) specific genomic DNA in colonies isolated from nasal, pharyngeal, and perianal swabs, seeded on solid chromogenic medium, blood culture samples and direct swab samples in transport medium. This product is intended to facilitate the diagnosis of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, together with the patient's clinical data, epidemiological risk factors, and the results of other laboratory tests.

Vitassay qPCR Kits contains in each well enzymes, buffer, primer and probes as well as an internal control in a lyophilized format.
The kits include a positive and a negative control.

Identification of pathogen DNA or RNA occurs by the use of target specific primers ans fluorecent labeled hydrolysis probes which hybridize conserved regions in the genomes of the different pathogens.
