INFECTIOUS DISEASE TEST PORTFOLIO

For Your Infectious Disease Molecular Testing Needs

ELITechGroup MDx set an industry standard in real-time PCR with the introduction of minor groove binder (MGB) probe technology, featured in our MGB Alert^® products. MGB probe technology has long been the standard bearer for hybridization probes that allow for melt curve analysis. Adding to our legacy of innovation, we now offer DSQ Alert^™ probe technology, the next generation of MGB probe chemistry. Our DSQ Alert reagents feature our newest proprietary duplex stabilizing quencher chemistry in hydrolysis probes, offering enhanced signal-to-noise fluorescence and DNA duplex stability. All test reagents may be used on ELITechGroup MDx proprietary instrument systems and on most open channel platforms.
