for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus mecA in research samples (For Research Use Only).

Description:

The IsoAmp Rapid mecA Detection Kit provides the necessary amplification and detection reagents required for the rapid detection of the mecA sequence with a disposable detection cassette (also provided).

The IsoAmp Rapid mecA Detection Kit is a nucleic acid test (NAT) that uses a target amplification method called Helicase-Dependent Amplification (HDA). Two sequencespecific
primers amplify the mecA sequence. A labeled probe hybridizes to the amplicon. The resulting complex is captured on the detection line on a test strip that is embedded in a disposable device
called BESt™ (BioHelix Extress Strip) cassette. A visible test line is formed when the target sequence is present in the sample.

The components of the assay are designed to allow detection with minimal handling steps.

Applications:

The kit may be used to test positive blood cultures for the presence of a methicillin-resistant gene in a research setting. This kit may also be used as an aid to detect Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in conjunction with the IsoAmp® Rapid Staph Detection Kit in a research setting. This kit is not intended for diagnostic use.
