Isothermal GBS detection kit

Isothermal GBS detection kit

In the United States, Group B Streptococcus (GBS) bacteria is a leading cause of meningitis and bacteremia in a newborn’s first week of life. Maternal intrapartum GBS colonization is the primary risk factor for early-onset disease in infants. About 1 in every 4 pregnant women carry group B strep bacteria in the rectum or vagina. Therefore, CDC recommend doctors to test pregnant woman for group B strep bacteria when they are 35 to 37 weeks pregnant. If diagnosed as GBS positive, pregnant women can be given antibiotics during labor to prevent early-onset GBS disease in newborns.

Atila GBS assay kit is intended for use to qualitatively detect the presence of GBS DNA from 18-24 hour Lim broth enrichments of vaginal/rectal swab samples. Based on our isothermal technology, this assay kit features simple procedures and economic price, with superior sensitivity and specificity.

Features

• Simplest protocol: Minimum hands on time (less than 15 minutes per assay).  No array, no washing, no DNA extraction are needed.
• Great Sensitivity: This multiplex assay detects less than 10 copies of pathogen DNA per reaction
• Fast assay speed: Reaction only takes 45 minutes
• Low Cost: Price per assay is much better than any other GBS detection kits on the market.
• Flexibility: the kits can be used for detection of any number of samples without wasting extra reagents
