EasyScreen™ Gastrointestinal Parasite Detection Kit
Product code: EP005
Genetic Signatures unique multiplex PCR workflow detects the 8 most common and clinically relevant gastrointestinal parasites in a single test, from a single patient sample.
These targets include:
- Giardia duodenalis (formally G. intestinalis & G. lamblia)
- Cryptosporidum
- Entamoeba histolytica
- Cyclospora cayetanensis
- Blastocystis hominis
- Dientamoeba fragilis
- Enterocytozoon bieneusi (Microsporidia)
- Encephalitozoon intestinalis (Microsporidia)
The gastrointestinal parasite targets listed above are in a 3-panel master mix. The EasyScreen™ Gastrointestinal Parasite Detection Kit also includes the EasyScreen™ Reverse Transcriptase Reagent and the EasyScreen™ Gastrointestinal Parasite Positive Control.
EasyScreen™ Sample Processing Kit
Product code: SP008B
Genetic Signatures' EasyScreen™ Sample Processing Kit offers streamlined preparation of clinical samples. The processing kit includes reagents required to perform Genetic Signatures' patented 3base™ conversion, nucleic acid extraction, and purification. Benefits of this unique workflow include:
