GeneProof Legionella pneumophila PCR Kit

GeneProof Legionella pneumophila PCR Kit

CE IVD

PRODUCT DETAIL

The PCR kit is designed for Legionella pneumophila detection by the real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.

The L. pneumophila detection consists in amplification of the gene encoding 16S rRNA specific for L. pneumophila and in measurement of fluorescence increase. The L. pneumophila presence is indicated by the FAM fluorophore fluorescence growth. An Internal Standard (IS) is either included in the reaction mix, controlling the possible inhibition of the PCR reaction (ISIN version) or excluded, controlling also the DNA extraction process quality (ISEX version). IS positive amplification is detected in the HEX fluorophore fluorescence channel. The detection kit takes advantage of the "hot start" technology, minimizing non-specific reactions and assuring maximum sensitivity. Ready to Use MasterMix contains uracil-DNA-glycosylase (UDG), eliminating possible contamination of the PCR with amplification products. The kit is designed for in vitro diagnostics and provides qualitative detection.
