Adenovirus Stool Antigen

Intended Use

0c3987c1-kart_test

This test is used to detect qualitatively Adenovirus antigens in human stool samples. This test is an in vitro diagnostic assay for professional use.

General Information

Rotaviruses, enteric adenoviruses, calicivirus, astrovirus and small round viruses are some of the agents that cause infantile gastroenteritis. Among these rotaviruses are the most common and important agents, followed by adenoviruses.

Because of their wide tropisms enteric adenoviruses are apart from other diarrhea viruses and they are named after their preference for lymphoid tissue. They can cause long term infections of these organs and they can also cause respiratory system diseases and kerato-conjunctivitis epidemia.

Adeno/Rota Combo

Intended Use

This test is used to detect qualitatively Adenovirus and Rotavirus antigens in human stool samples. This test is an in vitro diagnostic assay for professional use.

General Information

Rotaviruses, enteric adenoviruses, calicivirus, astrovirus and small round viruses are some of the agents that cause infantile gastroenteritis. Among these rotaviruses are the most common and important agents, followed by adenoviruses.

Rotaviruses are globally the leading cause of infantile diarrhea and severe gastroenteritis which may lead to hospitalization and child deaths. Because of rotavirus every year 25 million clinical applications are made, 2 million children are hospitalized and more than 600,000 children are lost worldwide.

Because of their wide tropisms enteric adenoviruses are apart from other diarrhea viruses and they are named after their preference for lymphoid tissue. They can cause long term infections of these organs and they can also cause respiratory system diseases and kerato-conjunctivitis epidemia.

Performance

Specificity: When evaluated on European blood donors (n=5038), the overall diagnostic specificity of the kit was 99.78%.

Sensitivity: Gentaur HBsAg ELISA Kit was evaluated for sensitivity on 22 HBV commercial available HBV seroconversion panels, and on total 403 HBsAg positive including 146 HBsAg HBV genotyped and HBsAg subtyped plasma samples available at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut. With respect to seroconversion sensitivity, the results for RTA HBsAg ELISA Kit on the 22 HBV seroconversion panels showed a sensitivity level at least equivalent with the range of current CE marked HBsAg screening assays for which PEI holds data. 10 additional seroconversion panels were tested in-house. The seroconversion sensitivity was comparable to other CE-marked HBsAg screening test. With respect to diagnostic sensitivity RTA HBsAg ELISA Kit detected all positive samples as positive, including the HBV genotypes A-F or HBsAg subtypes examined.

In conclusion, the overall score of Gentaur HBsAg ELISA Kit for the seroconversion sensitivity was comparable with other CE marked HBsAg test kits for which PEI holds data and all 403 HBsAg positive samples were reactive giving an overall sensitivity of 100%.

Tuberculosis Diagnosis Products

TDC

TDC, Decontamination and Concentration Kit

TDC is a decontamination and concentration kit with appropriate materials to do the decontamination and concentration of sodium hydroxide – N-asetil-L-sistein in a safe way. TDC isolates mycobacterium from phlegm, broconalveolar lava, stomach fluid, pericardial, pleural, peritoneal fluids and urine for general laboratory use and enables working under microscope. This method kills other micro organisms that are possibly exist in laboratory samples and enables isolating more mycobacterium and liquefying samples like phlegm for sedimentation. TDC also prevents time and effort loss by disabling cross contamination.

After-process materials that are defined as biologically harmful can be defused by the disinfectant solution inside TDC.

Rodac Petri SurCheck

6c0dc9ee-f4a9df0a-rodac[1]

Surcheck Plate is a fast, economic and reliable way for microbiological monitoring of critical control points during environment and area controls. Surcheck plate method is recommended when quantitative data are sought from flat, impervious and non-porous surfaces. The resulting sampled area for a 50 mm plate is approximately 25 cm2. This area enables having quantitative results, thus makes the product suitable for standard control procedures.

In recent years Media in Rodac Petri Dishes have gained great importance in microbiology, especially in control infections. They are used for hygiene control of operating rooms, patient rooms and general areas in a hospital. They can be used for the detection of specific pathogens (MRSA, VRE etc) as well.
