OpGen Unyvero - Rapid Molecular Diagnostic System
Rapid molecular diagnostic solutions for severe infections. Rapid, sample-to-answer results. The Unyvero system uses multiplex PCR technology to simultaneously test for a broad range of microorganisms and antibiotic resistance markers. Unyvero is simple to use and takes ~2 minutes of hands-on time, directly from native sample. Results are displayed on-screen and can be integrated into your LIS/EHR system.
FAST
Pathogen identification and resistance reported in just a matter of hours, using multiplex PCR technology.
ACCURATE
Excellent sensitivity and specificity with no growth required for detection of organisms and resistance genes, and results are not impacted by prior antibiotic use.
ACTIONABLE
Rapid detection of clinically relevant targets enables earlier optimal antibiotic decision.
EASY
Enables testing during all microbiology laboratory shifts with an automated sample-to-answer process that drives results directly from specimen.
- Early identification of causative organism(s) in patients with severe infection is crucial to optimize antibiotic use and patient survival.
- The Unyvero system provides results days faster than culture and reduces clinician wait time to optimize antibiotic therapy.
- Traditional Microbiology
- Results take days
- Time-consuming
- Affected by many factors such as prior antibiotics, sample transport time and temperature
- Reports only what is visible on the plate
- Certain bugs are hard to culture or don`t grow at all
- Pathogens may get masked due to overgrowth of other bacteria
- Inadequate antibiotic therapy can lead to:
- increased length of stay in ICU
- higher mortality
- increased costs to hospitals
Rapid, actionable results for life-saving treatment decisions
- PCR with array detection, high multiplexing capability
- Cartridge-based, fully barcoded
- Random access, scalable configuration, benchtop
- Simple qualitative results based on inherently quantitative algorithms
- Results under 5 hrs; only 2 minutes hands-on-time
- Simple; automated
- Direct from specimen; no growth required
- Identifies pathogens not covered by empiric therapy
- Easy to identify multi-pathogen infections Detects more potential pathogens missed by culture
- Not impacted by prior antibiotics
- Allows faster treatment adjustment, which can:
- decrease length of stay in ICU
- lower mortality
- reduce costs to hospitals
With three basic steps and about 2 minutes of hands-on time, using Unyvero is simple. From sample processing to cartridge assembly and analysis, manual steps are minimized. Fewer manual steps means faster, more reliable results.
