Rapid infectious disease test VitaPCR™ Strep A Assay

for respiratory infectionsinfectionfor DNA

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is the cause of several human infectious diseases, ranging from minor illnesses to deadly diseases. The infection usually starts from the throat, tonsils, or skin, and it occurs more commonly in children than adults. The conventional detection methods of GAS infection include rapid antigen testing or throat culture. A throat culture is more sensitive than rapid tests, but its long turnaround time makes it difficult to provide clinicians with a timely diagnosis. Therefore, to help clinicians for better antimicrobial stewardship, fast and accurate testing for GAS detection is needed, which also prevents the spread of the disease and further complications like rheumatic fever. Combining a simplified 1 minute hands-on time procedure to ensure seamless integration into practitioners’ workflow, a compact and reliable design without the need for extra equipment like refrigeration, and a proprietary RT-PCR technology allowing fast and accurate diagnostics; VitaPCR™ allows the detection of Strep A in 20 minutes from sample to results, at the Point-of-Care testing. VitaPCR™ empowers practitioners with the right information at the right time to make the right decision and provide the right course of treatment to the patients.
