MRSA rapid dipstick test


 

Mast is pleased to present a new version of the innovative GenoQuick MRSA kit from Hain LifeSciences offering rapid, highly cost effective results directly from patient specimens in only 2.5 hours. The kit utilises MRSA specific DNA sequences in the Staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SSCmec types 1-V) to enable direct detection without the need for timeconsuming culture. The simple extraction procedure minimises hands-on time, while being hugely scaleable – from 1 to 1,000’s of tests per day. Each individual test strip incorporates both amplification and conjugate controls improving user confidence in reporting the presence of MRSA from a patient specimen to a sensitivity of 10-15cfu.
