Qualitative RT-PCR detection of Streptococcus pyogenes

acute

Quick turnaround time of less than 30 minutes, beneficial for both the patient and for the containment of Strep A reducing aerogenic transmission.

counter_4

Convenient 4 step process from sample entry to results. Suitable for use in laboratory and non-laboratory settings.

person

Real-time PCR enables rapid and targeted detection up to 4 weeks after the onset of symptoms Streptococcus pyogenes.

Clinical Significance

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is the main cause of bacterial pharyngitis in school-aged children. It usually causes a mild illness with symptoms like sore throat, headache, and fever, but can also lead to scarlet fever, characterized by a fine red rash. While often manageable, severe cases require antibiotic treatment for effective recovery.

An automated, qualitative in vitro diagnostic test using real-time PCR detects Streptococcus pyogenes nucleic acids in human oropharyngeal swabs. This advanced test is a valuable tool for diagnosing streptococcal pharyngitis in symptomatic patients.

"AWARD-WINNING DESIGN DELIVERS AN UNCOMPLICATED USER EXPERIENCE"

Vivalytic Workflow

Intuitive engineering of Vivalytic ensures the analyser is user friendly. The process of patient sample to result comprises a very simple 4 step workflow.

To begin the test, the user scans or enters sample information. The cartridge code is then scanned into the embedded Vivalytic software. The user then adds sample into the dedicated cartridge slot, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the Vivalytic.

The touchscreen display will countdown the time remaining to test completion. Results will be displayed on the screen. Multiple Vivalytics can be wirelessly connected allowing the user to control multiple tests at one time all reporting to a master Vivalytic platform.
