GeneProof Mycoplasma pneumoniae PCR Kit
CE IVD
PRODUCT DETAIL
The PCR kit is designed for Mycoplasma pneumoniae detection by the real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.
The M. pneumoniae detection consists in amplification of the DNA sequence of the M181 gene encoding the CARDS toxin and in measurement of fluorescence increase. The M. pneumoniae 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 (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.
