Overview-
A real time PCR- based multiplex application for fast, reliable, ready to use and high throughput in vitro diagnostic of dermatophytes. This multiplex PCR system enables 7 different dermatophytes types detection within 3 hours. The test contains two ready to use mixes for detection of 7 most common dermatopytes types:
[ 1 ] Trichophyton tonsurans
[ 2 ] Trichophyton violaceum
[ 3 ] Trichophyton rubrum complex
[ 4 ] Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex
[ 5 ] Microsporum canis
[ 6 ] Microsporum gypseum
[ 7 ] Epidermophyton floccosum
and Internal Control.
Specimen-
This test is for use with extracted DNA from skin scale specimens, plucked
hair, nails, culture and swabs of human origin.
Workflow-
Sample collection-sample lysis in lab-DNA purification manually or automated-add DNA and running Real
time PCR-results automatic analysis.
Clinical validation results-
A total of 220 samples were examined. Acorrelation of 86.3% (190/220) was found between the methods.
