Micro-Dx™ CE IVD is designed for pathogen detection and identification from body fluids, swabs and tissues independent from culture. The fully automated sample preparation includes host DNA depletion for a more sensitive detection of bacteria and fungi in clinical samples. The broad-range PCR assays deliver first results after approximately four hours. Subsequent Sanger sequencing can identify the pathogens down to species level.
Benefits:
In most samples, host DNA is in vast excess to target microbial DNA which often reduces the sensitivity of molecular analysis significantly. Therefore, a reduction of host DNA leads to an increased sensitivity in the detection of microbial DNA. The DNA-free reagents provided with the kit and the automated DNA isolation commit to the contamination-free processing of the samples. 16S and 18S rDNA-based broad-range PCR assays are used for the sensitive detection of bacterial and fungal DNA, respectively. More than 1.300 different pathogens have already been detected in clinical studies and evaluations. Micro-Dx™ can identify pathogens causing e.g. sepsis, bacterial meningitis, pneumonia, joint and wound infections.
