PRODUCT DETAIL

The PCR kit is designed for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus detection by the real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.

The MRSA detection consists in amplification of three specific loci (the nuc gene which is specific for Staphylococcus aureus, the SCCmec/orfX junction region and the resistance genes mecA/mecC) and in measurement of fluorescence increase.       The nuc gene presence is indicated by the TEX fluorophore fluorescence growth. The SCCmec/orfX junction presence is indicated by the FAM fluorophore fluorescence growth. The resistance gene mecA/mecC presence is indicated by the Cy5 fluorophore fluorescence growth. An Internal Standard (IS) is either included in the reaction mix, controlling the possible inhibition of the PCR (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 by amplification products. The kit is designed for in vitro diagnostics and provides qualitative detection.
