The IsoAmp Rapid
Staph Detection Kit is nucleic acid amplification test that utilizes
two sequence-specific primers and a probe for the rapid detection
of a Staphylococcus aureus specific DNA sequence. The amplification
product is detected by a disposable amplifcon detection cassette (also
provided).
Advantages
of the IsoAmp Assay: No sample-prep
(just dilute and heat) Isothermal
reaction - near "instrument-free" Amplicon
containment - using self-contained cassette Simple
readout - similar to pregnancy test Rapid test
- total turnaround time is less than 1.5 hour
Applications:
The kit may be used as an aid to detect Staphylococcus
aureus directly from positive blood culture bottles in a research
setting. In conjunction with a separate IsoAmp®
Rapid mecA Detection Kit, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus
aureus or MRSA in blood culture bottle can be detected in less
than 1.5 hours.
