Features

• The Streck ARM-D® Kit, β-Lactamase (RUO) is a qualitative molecular test for the detection of family-specific KPC, ESBL, MBL, and ampC gene targets by fluorescently-labeled DNA probes
• Positive identification of the gene by this test indicates the presence of the detected β-lactamase gene
• The assay involves extraction of DNA from bacterial cells and subsequent amplification and detection using real-time PCR
• The kit can be used for active surveillance of antimicrobial resistance patterns and be beneficial for infection control
• ARM-D Kit, β-Lactamase (RUO), generates data in under one hour compared to 24-48 hours for traditional phenotypic methods
• This product has not been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for In Vitro Diagnostic use
• The product is For Research Use Only
• The kit contents are sufficient for 100 reactions total, including 12 reactions of each associated control mix
• This product has been validated with the following systems: Applied Biosystems (ABI) 7500 Fast and 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR System, ABI QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System, Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch™ Real-Time PCR Detection System and QIAGEN Rotor-Gene® Q
