Evaluation of the First Microarray-Based Molecular Screening Test for Eight Gastrointestinal Pathogens Using the Automated NanoCHIP Platform

22 May 2014

Gastroenteritis is a challenging syndrome to diagnose clinically and microbiologically. The Savyon Gastrointestinal Panel (GIP) is a block-based multiplex nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) that detects eight enteric pathogens. The objective of this study was to assess the analytical sensitivity of the GIP assay and to compare the detection capability of the Savyon GIP for diarrhoeal samples positive by conventional methods (culture/microscopy/ELISA).

NanoCHIP® XL Analyzer

Savyon Diagnostics

The NanoChip® system is an automated, multi-purpose instrument which is used for clinical molecular diagnostics. Clinical microbiology, genetics/cytogenetics and pathology laboratories use this convenient platform to identify pathogenic infections, carriage of genetic disorders, predisposition to diseases and response to pharmaceutical therapies. The NanoCHIP® technology is intended for those users that require: Medium-to high throughput Multiplex molecular testing (over 4 markers/sample) Automation Simplicity Full LIS connectivity
