PlexPCR - Model RespiVirus -11 Respiratory Viruses
Detect 11 clinically relevant respiratory viruses, Influenza A, Influenza B, Rhinoviruses (A & B), Respiratory Syncytial Viruses (A & B), Human metapneumovirus, Adenoviruses, Human parainfluenza viruses 1, 2, 3 & 4 in a 2-well multiplex qPCR test, Increase productivity this respiratory virus season.
Laboratories face increasing numbers of respiratory samples for testing each year as greater pressure is placed on clinicians to determine the cause of infection before prescribing antibiotics.
- Maintain clinically relevant turn-around times even during peak testing season.
- Ensure timely reporting of results to optimize treatment decisions for patient management.
Tested on hundreds of clinical and QAP samples, PlexPCR® RespiVirus demonstrates excellent sensitivity and specificity.
treamline your workflow and increase productivity for rapid, routine diagnostics. Validated software solutions included in contract pricing, is license free, providing automated result calling and simple data processing.
- Increase sample throughput compared with 3- or 4-well tests.
- Validated on a range of specimen types
