Candida auris PCR for fungal detection and identification
Our Candida auris real-time PCR reagents are designed to provide accurate detection of this emerging fungus. The EGMDx research and development team designed our ASR§ and RUO‡ reagents to meet the needs of CLIA high-complexity clinical labs and reference laboratories, allowing your own lab’s design creativity in developing an LDT (laboratory developed test) or in C. auris research.

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.
