ELITe - Model MGB -Aspergillus Spp Diagnostic Kit
Aspergillosis is the most common cause of fungal infection among stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients, resulting in high mortality if untreated. Patients with weakened immune system and lung diseases are at higher risk of developing severe outcomes. Early detection and quantification of Aspergillus with molecular methods is crucial to isolate infected patients and provide an appropriate treatment.
Aspergillus spp ELITe MGB® Kit is a quantitative PCR assay for the detection and quantification of the DNA of the Aspergillus genus: Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus versicolor and Aspergillus glaucus. The assay is CE-IVD validated on diverse range of sample types, in combination with ELITe InGenius®, a fully automated sample-to-result solution.
