Fungiplex® Universal
Real-time PCR test
Fungiplex® Universal PCR
The Fungiplex® Universal Real-Time PCR Kit is designed for research use only (RUO), to rapidly detect the presence of fungal DNA from samples, without culture. It offers broad-coverage, real-time PCR testing covering 24 filamentous fungi genera, which complements the existing more specific IVD-CE Fungiplex Kits.
The Fungiplex® Universal PCR Kit detects a broad range of fungal species, including those with low prevalence, and those that are not detected by diagnostic biomarkers, such as from the Zygomycetes or Cryptococcus genera.
Universal Solution
The Fungiplex® Universal PCR Kit is a research use only assay for broad identification of fungal species directly from samples, without culture.
The Fungiplex® Universal PCR Kit has been validated across multiple real-time PCR instruments. The assay is designed to be used across common laboratory PCR equipment and can process up to 50 samples from post-extraction to result in less than 2 hours. The use of universal primers and multiple probes on the same fluorophore (Cy5) results in the detection of a broad range of fungal genera.
The quality of the extracted DNA is inherently linked to the sensitivity achieved by real-time PCR assays. The rapid, reliable detection provided by this test has the potential to improve the understanding of fungal disease, from a research perspective, while quality controlled manufacture ensures full confidence in assay quality and reproducibility.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in clinical diagnostic procedures.
