This kit uses RT-PCR for in vitro detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae 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 Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
Based on high-efficiency enzymatic processing technology, sample process 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.
Only one step for nucleic acid processing, reducing operations to direct PCR sample processing and amplification. Turnaround time is less than 35 minutes.
