DiaSorin is pleased to announce that it launched the LIAISON Rotavirus test for the qualitative detection of Rotavirus in stool specimens, available in the market outside the US and UK only.

The new LIAISON Rotavirus is the fifth test launched on the LIAISON Stool menu, in addition to the other tests already on the market (C. difficile Toxin AB, C. Difficile GDH, H. pylori, EHEC) since 2013.

DiaSorin’s LIAISON solution aims at improving the way Rotavirus test is currently performed; differently from the past, this test allows to obtain rapid results on a large volume of samples. In fact one key element of the test is to be able to give a result in the shortest time possible in order to isolate and treat the infection in the best way.

Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea among infants and children throughout the world and causes the death of about 500,000 of them worldwide annually. Nearly every child in the world has been infected with rotavirus at least once by the age of five. The virus is transmitted by the faecal-oral route and it infects and damages the cells that line the small intestine and causes gastroenteritis.

Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
