Group A Streptococcus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescence PCR)

Product Description

Group A Streptococcus (GAS), also known as Streptococcus pyogens, is a common Gram-positive pathogen, which is the main pathogen causing acute tonsillitis, pharyngitis and scarlet fever in children. Some strains can cause serious complications such as rheumatic fever/rheumatic valvular heart disease and acute glomerulonephritis. GAS is one of the pathogens that can cause the most kinds of human diseases so far, and it is also one of the most common respiratory pathogens. It is easily confused with pharyngitis caused by mycoplasma pneumoniae and respiratory viruses in clinical practice. Accurate diagnosis of the causative agent is an important condition for correct treatment of the disease.

Product Features

- Simple operation: One-step PCR is used to avoid aerosol contamination.

- High sensitivity: Tested with three different batches of reagents, the detection sensitivity can reach 500 copies/mL.

- High precision: The CV values of the high and low concentration precision reference materials are both ≤5%.

- High accuracy: The positive coincidence rate of the reference material is 100%, and the negative coincidence rate is 100%.
