    Description

    Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) pose a significant threat to human health,  particularly in the immunocompromised such as cancer chemotherapy,  organ transplantation, antimicrobial therapy, and abdominal surgery are among the medical procedures that constitute the main risk factors predisposing to invasive fungal infections (IFI).

    IFIs are associated with  mortality rates, ranging from 2% to 60%, depending on the etiology of the invasive infection and the type of underlying disease, with high hospital costs. The product is intended for use by qualified laboratory personnel well-trained in nucleic acid amplification techniques and in vitro diagnostic  procedures for direct detection of fungal DNA in clinical specimens.

    Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other pathogens. Negative results do not preclude microbial infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Test results must be combined with  clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.

    Targets:

    • B. gilchristii
    • B. dermatitidis
    • Cryptococcus neoformans-gattii
    • Mucor spp.
    • pan-Aspergillus
    • pan-Candida
    • Coccidioides
    • Histoplasma
    • P. jiroveci
    • Rhizopus oryzae
    • Rhizopus microspores
    • Rhizomucor pusillus
    • Lichtheimia

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many reactions are in the kit?

    100 reactions


    What is the shelf life of the kit?

    The kit is valid for 12 months after the manufactured date or until the expiration date and should be stored in a -20°C storage.


    How many controls should I run on a plate for my clinical samples?

    We recommend running at least 2 sets of positive and negative controls in case one set fails (a set refers to running a positive and negative for ALL oligo mixes).


    How many patient samples can I do in a single run?

    96 Well Plate: 20 Patient Samples (assuming you are running 2 sets of positive and negative controls)
    384 Well Plate: 924 Patient Samples (assuming you are running 2 sets of positive and negative controls and filling all the plate wells)


    What is the estimated run time of the method with this kit?

    The method is estimated to be ~60 minutes. Some thermal cyclers will vary in the duration of the method.


    What is the LOD for this kit?

    This kit has a sensitivity as low as 1 cp/uL, but will vary depending on your thermal cycler.


    What dyes should my thermal cycler be calibrated for?

    FAM, JOE, ROX, Cy5


    What is the stability of the prepared PCR plate? Am I able to store it in a freezer after making the reaction?

    It is best to prepare your plate and reagents as needed and not to let it sit at room temperature for extended periods of time. You should avoid storing the PCR reaction if possible; if it is needed it is store the PCR reaction at -20°C for up to 30 minutes


    What are the quantities of control and PCR mix?

    Positive Control: 100uL
    Negative Control: 100uL
    IFP(1-4) PCR Mix: 1.5mL each tube
