Certest™ VIASURE Vancomycin Resistance – BD MAXTM System Real Time PCR Detection Kit

Certest™ VIASURE Vancomycin Resistance – BD MAX^TM System Real Time PCR Detection Kit 

VIASURE Vancomycin resistance Real Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the specific detection and differentiation of vanA and vanB genes associated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in clinical samples from patients with signs and symptoms of bacterial infection.

This test is intended to be used as an aid in the identification of vancomycin-resistant organisms in combination with clinical and epidemiological risk factors.

DNA is extracted from clinical specimens, multiplied using Real Time amplification and detected using fluorescent reporter dye probes for vanA and vanB genes.
