Multiplex PCR

For direct detection and identification of Nosocomial infections, Sexually transmitted diseases, Mycobacteria

Multiplex test systems are used for the specific detection of DNA of infectious pathogens.

With only one Multiplex-PCR several parameter can be detected in one workstep. This allows as well the screening of patient material for different pathogens as an advanced genotypic characterisation of a certain organism regarding resistance- or toxin genes.

Multiplex-PCR means the simultaneous amplification of several different specific DNA regions, which are detected by reverse hybridisation using high specific capture probes. This is why hyplex® systems guarantee highest specificity.

The procedure of the reverse hybridisation is carried out in commonly used microtiter plates and is similar to a traditional antigen ELISA. Therefore it can be automated easily using common ELISA-processors.
