FAST-TRACK DIAGNOSTICS has released a CE labelled real-time PCR kit for the detection of the Zaire Ebola virus – the strain responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. The Ebola virus assay is based on multiplex Real-time PCR so clinicians can deliver fast, accurate diagnoses leading to greater efficiency in the treatment of patients.
Fast-track diagnostics has a wide range of kits available for over 100 different pathogens – including viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites – many in multiplex syndrome panel format for commonly faced conditions including respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, meningitis and infections of the immunosuppressed. The entire range is compatible with many standard laboratory real-time PCR cyclers and extraction methods.
