Kit Information
The Bacterial CNS Flow Chip kit is an in vitro diagnostic kit for bacteria and fungi causing meningitis and encephalitis in humans. Current diagnostic methods are very laborious and do not always show 100% specificity. The Bacterial CNS Flow Chip system allows for the simultaneous detection of nine bacterial species (Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Listeria monocytogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Treponema pallidum, Coxiella burnetii, and Borrelia burgdorferi) and one fungus (Cryptococcus neoformans) through bacterial DNA amplification by multiplex PCR and subsequent reverse hybridisation on a membrane containing specific DNA probes for each species.
Rapid molecular diagnosis for bacterial meningitis/encephalitis
Bacterial meningitis continues to be a major public health problem, with over a million cases and more than 200,000 deaths annually worldwide. Rapid diagnosis is crucial for initiating appropriate treatment and improving patient prognosis.
Bacterial CNS Flow Chip enables the simultaneous detection of nine meningitis-causing bacteria using molecular hybridisation technology, providing a rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive diagnosis for clinical laboratories.
