How can wastewater predict the future?
In healthcare, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a constantly growing issue – but it’s not a new one. For several years, scientists have cautioned…
Read More ARM-D® Kit, β-Lactamase
The Streck ARM-D Kit, β-Lactamase is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of β-lactam antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit allows you to detect over 450 allelic variants in 9 clinically relevant carbapenemases, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated ampC gene families, KPC, NDM, OXA-48, IMP, VIM, DHA, CMY-2, CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-15.
Product Description
The ARM-D Kit, β-Lactamase is part of a family of comprehensive, multiplex real-time PCR kits that detect over 1,000 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene variants from 26 different gene target families. Streck ARM-D Kits provide a rapid detection strategy for monitoring β-lactam antibiotic resistance. With these kits, your lab can improve surveillance, aid antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs…
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
A CE version of this kit is also available.
Features
- Detects over 450 allelic variants in the KPC, NDM, OXA-48, IMP, VIM, DHA, CMY-2, CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-15 gene families
- Compatible with most 4-channel real-time PCR thermal cyclers
- Protocol can be completed in less than one hour
- Contains positive controls for each gene target
- Includes a premixed 2X master mix (DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and reaction buffer)
Benefits
- Detects gene variants not covered by cartridge-based kits
- Identifies resistance mechanisms before susceptibility results are available
- High degree of sensitivity and specificity ensures reliable and accurate results
- Reduced cost per sample compared to cartridge-based methods
