iAMP UISolution Assay

iAMP UISolution Assay    

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the fifth most common healthcare-associated infection, affecting 1 out of 5 women during their lifetime. Each year, 8 to 10 million hospital visits are for UTIs that can sometimes lead to more serious kidney infections. UTIs can be caused by bacterial or fungal pathogens. Current culture-based methods for the identification of UTI pathogens often lack sensitivity and accuracy and can take days to yield results.

Our iAMP® UISolution Assay is a rapid, accurate, and affordable isothermal assay that can detect and identify common UTI pathogens by the presence of their DNA in a urine sample. This technology can detect pathogens that are sometimes missed by culture methods and delivers fast turnaround of results.
