artus M. tuberculosis PCR Kits CE

• CE-marked — full compliance with European IVD Directive 98/79/EC
• 신뢰할수 있는 결과 — DNA 분리 과정과 PCR 과정이 잘 수행되었는지 증명하기 위한 internal control 이용
• 고감도 검출 — 0.9 copies/µl (artus M. tuberculosis RG PCR Kit과 Rotor-Gene 3000를 이용하여 검증)
• 제공되는 4개의 standard를 이용하여M. tuberculosis complex를 정화하게 정량할 수 있음

To ensure highest sensitivity, artus M. tuberculosis PCR Kits have been optimized to detect low numbers of mycobacterial DNA. The analytical sensitivity of the artus M. tuberculosis RG PCR Kit is 0.23 copies/µl in the PCR on the Rotor-Gene Q/6000 instrument.

artus M. tuberculosis PCR Kits are based on the amplification and simultaneous detection of a specific region of the mycobacterial genome using real-time PCR. The kits provide high levels of specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility.

Each artus M. tuberculosis PCR Kit provides 4 M. tuberculosis quantitation standards (see figure " Reliable quantitation of M. tuberculosis complex pathogen load"). Use of the standards enables accurate quantitation of pathogen load. In addition, the kits contain a second heterologous amplification system to identify possible PCR inhibition. This is detected as an internal control (IC) in a different fluorescence channel from the analytical PCR. The detection limit of the analytical M. tuberculosis PCR is not reduced.

artus M. tuberculosis PCR Kits provide all necessary reagents optimized for reliable detection and quantitation of DNA of all members of the M. tuberculosis complex (M. tuberculosis, M. africanum, M. bovis, M. bovis BCG, M. microti, and M. pinnipedii). Simply add template DNA to the ready-to-use PCR master mix and Mg solution, and start the reaction on the appropriate real-time cycler using the optimized cycling program described in the kit handbook.

For DNA purification, the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit is to be used to ensure legally validated performance.
