Coccidioides PCR test
DSQ Alert™ Coccidioides
Coccidioides is a genus of fungi that causes Coccidioidomycosis, commonly known as Valley Fever. This infection occurs when fungal spores from the soil are inhaled, leading to respiratory symptoms that can range from mild, flu-like conditions to severe pneumonia and disseminated infections. While many individuals recover without treatment, Coccidioidomycosis can become serious, especially for those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and individuals of certain ethnic backgrounds. Early and accurate detection of Coccidioides is critical for effective management. Molecular methods, such as PCR testing, play a vital role in quickly identifying infections and guiding appropriate treatment.

Real-time PCR assay for detection of Coccidioides
Molecular detection and identification of Coccidioides are crucial for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of Coccidioidomycosis. A real-time PCR assay is a powerful tool used to detect and identify various Coccidioides species by amplifying specific DNA sequences. This method offers high sensitivity and specificity, allowing precise detection of Coccidioides infections even at low levels. By employing advanced techniques like real-time PCR for Coccidioides DNA, laboratories can rapidly and reliably identify the presence of this fungus, leading to improved patient management and treatment outcomes. PCR tests for Coccidioides, including broad-range and species-specific assays, are essential for effective disease surveillance and diagnosis.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE TEST PORTFOLIO
Real-Time PCR testing for laboratories
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 gold standard for hybridization probes that allow for melt curve analysis. Adding to our legacy of innovation, we now offer DSQ Alert™ probe technology, an evolution in 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.
