FluoroType^® MRSA – Fast, easy and reliable

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

With FluoroType^® MRSA we offer you a particularly userfriendly and efficient solution for the fast detection of MRSA directly from patient samples: The test system enables reliable results within only 1.5h by using highly specific fluorescence-labelled probes.

The test is performaned directly from clinical swabs and requires only minimal pipetting effort. From amplification to detection, all steps run fully automated in the FluoroCycler^®12 or the FluoroCycler^®XT. A ready-to-use amplification mix already containing the Taq polymerase is provided with each kit. Therefore, integration of the FluoroType^® MRSA into labs with small, medium and large throughput is easily possible. The result is interpreted by the test-specific FluoroSoftware^® and is visible at first glance. FluoroType^® MRSA gives you the crucial time and cost advantage for reliable and efficient MRSA diagnostics.

Your benefits with FluoroType^® MRSA

Fast: Swabs from nose, throat, skin and wounds can directly be used for the simple test procedure. Results are available after only 1.5 hours.
Reliable: Dropout strains are identified via the simultaneous detection of the SCCmec cassette and the resistance-mediating mecA gene. The additional detection of the gene homologue mecC makes the results even more reliable. An Internal Control ensures valid results from sample preparation to amplification and detection.
User-friendly: From amplification to result, all steps run fully automated in the FluoroCycler^®12 or the FluoroCycler^®XT. A ready-to-use amplification mix containing the Taq polymerase is provided with each kit. Therefore, FluoroType^® MRSA can easily be integrated into your daily lab routine.
Flexible: With FluoroType^® MRSA single samples as well as big batches can be analysed efficiently.
