FluoroType^® MRSA – Fast, easy and safe detection

Your test system for direct detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains from patient samples

For the fast detection of MRSA directly from patient samples, with FluoroType^® MRSA we offer you a particularly userfriendly and efficient solution: Based on the innovative HyBeacon technology, the test system enables reliable results within a short time period by using highly specific fluorescence-labeled probes.

The test performance directly from clinical swabs requires only minimal pipetting effort. From amplification to detection, all steps run fully automated in the FluoroCycler^®. A ready-to-use amplification mix already containing Taq polymerase is provided with each kit. Therefore, optimization of the FluoroType^® MRSA into small, medium and large throughput laboratories is possible. The result is interpreted by the test-specific software and is visible at first glance. FluoroType^® MRSA secures you the essential time and cost advantage for a reliable and efficient MRSA diagnostics.

Your benefits with FluoroType^® MRSA

• Innovative: FluoroType^® MRSA is based on the new HyBeacon technology for reliable and efficient MRSA diagnostics.
• Fast result: The easy to perform technique directly from clinical swab specimens enables reliable results within approximately 2.5 hours and therefore provides significant time saving advantages over traditional methods.
• User friendly: From amplification to result, all steps run fully automated in the FluoroCycler^®. A ready-to-use amplification mix containing the Taq polymerase is provided in each kit. This allows for a simple test procedure with minimal hands-on-time.
• High sensitivity and specificity: The validation of the result is ensured by a high sensitivity and specificity as well as by the internal control.
• CE certified
