This kit uses RT-PCR for in vitro detection of Legionella pneumophila in nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal swab, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, serum, and plasma samples. Test results may serve as a reference for clinical evaluation of Legionella pneumophila infection.
Based on high-efficiency enzymatic processing technology, sample processing and purification are simultaneously completed in one tube to release and stabilize the pathogen nucleic acid.
The test uses specific gene sequences as PCR targets. Human genomic sequence is used as internal quality control.
