MDx-Chex for Blood Culture Yeast (RUO), MDx-Chex for Blood Culture GP (RUO) and MDx-Chex for Blood Culture GN (RUO) are full-process molecular quality controls designed for comprehensive molecular assay workflow validation.

The Streck ARM-D kit, ampC is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of AmpC β-lactamase resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit allows you to detect over 200 ampC allelic variants in the clinically relevant resistance gene families, CMY02, DHA, ACC, EBC, FOX and MOX, and differentiate between plasmid-mediated and chromosomal AmpC β-lactamase resistance. 

The Streck ARM-D Kit, TEM/SHV/GES is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit allows you to detect over 350 allelic variants in the TEM, SHV and GES extended-spectrum β-Lactamase gene families. 

MDx-Chex for BCID2 is a first-of-its-kind quality control designed to evaluate the entire analytical process of the BIOFIRE ® Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) Panel for sepsis. With MDx-Chex for BCID2, you can track lot-to-lot performance of the BCID2 assay and reduce the occurrence of incorrect results due to instrument or assay failures. 

Cell-Free DNA BCT is a blood collection tube that stabilizes cell-free DNA for up to 14 days at 6 °C to 37 °C* and CTCs for up to 7 days at 15 °C to 30 °C*. It is available as a CE marked in vitro diagnostic device or as a Research Use Only tube, depending on region of use.  *These performance characteristics have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration 

High performance flow cytometry

Test kit for the specific detection of living Alicyclobacillus spp. as well as Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris cells in fruit juices, fruit concentrates and similar samples after short pre-enrichment.

Reagent kit for detecting and counting metabolically active yeast cells, both of which are relevant parameters in samples from growing yeast cultures.

Yeast Control™ - Cell Cycle. Reagent kit for staining of yeast nuclear DNA after cell fixation by ethanol. This allows determination of total DNA and cell cycle analysis, which varies during the fermentation process. The reagent has been created specifically for selected configurations of the Sysmex CyFlow Cube and CyFlow Space flow cytometers.

Yeast Control™ - Glycogen. Reagent kit for measuring glycogen in yeast cells, following a cell fixation step. Glycogen content varies during the fermentation process: it is accumulated in yeast during the early exponential phase and utilized during nutrient depletion. The reagent has been created specifically for selected configurations of the Sysmex CyFlow Cube and CyFlow Space flow cytometers.

Yeast Control™ - Neutral lipids. Reagent kit for measuring neutral lipids in yeast. Neutral lipids serve as a storage substance and confer stress tolerance to yeast by stabilizing the membrane and protect cells against bacterial invasion. The reagent has been created specifically for selected configurations of the Sysmex CyFlow Cube and CyFlow Space flow cytometers.

Yeast Control™ - Trehalose. Reagent kit for measuring trehalose in yeast after a cell fixation step. Trehalose assists in stabilizing the yeast cell membrane during nutrient depletion and starvation, and other stresses as heat shock or ethanol exposure. It thus serves as a major stress tolerance indicator. The reagent has been created specifically for selected configurations of the Sysmex CyFlow Cube and CyFlow Space flow cyto…

Yeast Control™ - Viability. Reagent kit for yeast cell counting and viability testing (differentiation between living and dead cells), both of which are relevant parameters in growing yeast cultures. The reagent has been created specifically for selected configurations of the Sysmex CyFlow Cube and CyFlow Space flow cytometers.

Test kit for the specific detection of living Brettanomyces bruxellensis cells in wine and pre-mature wine sample.

The CyFlow Cube 6 (V2m) is a compact benchtop flow cytometer for analysis of microorganisms, single cells and microscopic particles

Ready-to-use reagent for the extraction and staining of nuclei in one step. DAPI as a dye enables the determination of genome size variations and ploidy level in material or cell suspensions of various origins, including mammalian cells and plant material. CyStain UV OxProtect is especially formulated to prevent oxidation and degradation processes triggered by endogenous plant tissue oxidants.
