How Flexible Respiratory Pathogen Testing Can Meet the Needs of the Clinical Microbiology Lab

10 Jun 2018

This white paper provides an overview of the challenges clinical microbiology laboratories face in finding a testing solution that addresses the needs of the clinician and patient, and how the VERIGENE Respiratory Pathogens Flex Test can help offer a respiratory pathogen testing algorithm that fully addresses these needs, whilst minimizing the financial and resource burden on the laboratory.

PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Respiratory InfectionsRespiratory infections are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, leading to diseases like pneumonia, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. It is important to identify respiratory infections quickly in patients to ensure appropriate treatment and care, and to prevent sepsis. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best tools for respiratory infection detection, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Pathogen DetectionPathogen detection is the process of identifying harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can cause diseases. Accurate pathogen detection is critical for food safety, public health, and clinical diagnostics. Explore pathogen detection products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Clinical StudyProspective biomedical or behavioral research studies on human subjects, following tests in animals, that are designed to answer specific questions about novel vaccines, drugs, treatments, dietary supplements, devices or new ways of using known interventions, generating safety and efficacy data.
