QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel Mini

QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel Mini – FDA-cleared test to analyze 5 viral targets for common pathogens causing respiratory symptoms, including Human Rhinovirus. This targeted panel is ideal for low-risk patients.

6 individually packaged cartridges containing all reagents needed for sample preparation and multiplex RT-PCR, plus internal control, including six transfer pipettes.

Features

• Intuitive workflow with minimal hands-on time
• Uses RT-PCR to deliver comprehensive results in about an hour
• Provides Ct values and amplification curves for all detected pathogens directly on the instrument touchscreen
• No precision pipetting required
• QIAsphere-connected for real-time updates and custom epidemiology reports*

Principle

The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 2.0, combined with QIAstat-Dx assay cartridges, use real-time PCR to detect pathogen nucleic acids in human biological samples. The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 2.0 and cartridges are designed as closed systems that contain all necessary reagents, enabling hands-off sample preparation. Detected real-time amplification signals are interpreted by the integrated software and are reported via an intuitive user interface.

Procedure

Setting up and running a QIAstat-Dx test requires minimal hands-on time and just a few simple steps.

1. Add the patient sample to the main port of the QIAstat-Dx cartridge using the plastic pipette provided. This step is fast and easy to perform and requires no precision pipetting.
2. Press the Run Test button on the QIAstat-Dx touch screen and scan the sample ID barcode.
3. Scan the barcode of the cartridge you’re using.
4. For our QIAstat-Dx Gastrointestinal Panel 2 test, select the sample type (Para-Pak C&S or FecalSwab).
5. Position the cartridge on the instrument’s sample port. The cartridge will automatically move in and the test will start.
6. After about an hour, view the comprehensive results.
