Quidel GAS and Control Set Solana Assay Test, Group A Strep - M301 - 48 Each

Quidel GAS and Control Set Solana Assay Test, Group A Strep

The Quidel GAS and Control Set Solana Assay Test, Group A Strep is specified for demanding clinical and facility environments. Solana GAS Assay is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) nucleic acids isolated from throat swab specimens obtained from patients with signs and symptoms of pharyngitis, such as sore throat. Specifications include latex-free materials.

Key Features

• The Solana GAS Assay, when performed on the Solana instrument, allows for the rapid, accurate detection of Group A Strep without the need for culture confirmation.
• The assay utilizes helicase-dependent amplification (HDA) of the DNase B (sdaB) sequence and fluorescent probe-based detection in the Solana instrument to determine assay results.
• A throat swab sample or an aliquot of liquid transport media is lysed by simple heat treatment, diluted, and added to a Reaction Tube containing the lyophilized HDA reagents including primers specific for the amplification of the DNAase B (sdaB) sequence as well as sequence specific probes.
• Competitive process control (PRC) is included in the Lysis Tube to monitor sample processing, inhibitory substances in clinical samples, reagent failure or instrument failure.
• Qty :48 test ( Assay kit).
• Kit Size / Case Size : 0.5ml ( Control set).
• Sample type : Throat swab specimens obtained from patients symptomatic of acute pharyngitis.
• Time to results : Approximately 35 minutes.
• Reagent storage conditions : Lysis, Dilution and Reaction Tubes; 2˚C to 8˚C.
• Controls storage conditions : 2˚C to 8˚C.
• Sample preparation storage conditions (cultured enriched broth) : 25˚C to 2˚C for up to 2 days and then at 2˚C to 8˚C for up to 6 more days before testing or at ≤-15˚C or ≤-70˚C for up to 34 days before testing.
