Description

The Detect-Ready™ MRSA kit is a real time PCR in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of MRSA nasal colonization to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in hospitals and other health care settings.

The Detect-Ready™ MRSA kit provides a number of important performance advantages over other testing methods, including increased accuracy, decreased time and effort to produce results and reduced risk of technician error and cross contamination.

The Detect-Ready MRSA test also has the ability to detect MSSA. Software is available that can report the presence of MSSA and/or MR-CNS, both in single or mixed populations.

The Detect-Ready™ ready-to-use pre-mixed reagents require only the addition of DNA from the patient sample to run the assay. The protocol provides test results in less than three hours.

Samples for testing are simple to obtain using nasal swabs that can be delivered to the laboratory without the need for transport medium. Unlike other testing products that require special handling, Detect-Ready™ kits are off-the-shelf room temperature-stabilized and require no refrigeration.

The unique technology in the Detect-Ready™ kits produces highly accurate results, minimizing the false positives and false negatives experienced with other diagnostic screening kits.

Detect-Ready™ kits are compatible with multiple rt-PCR platforms currently found in clinical laboratories, including the Roche LightCycler®, Qiagen Rotor-Gene® and Cepheid SmartCycler®.
