Validation of a New DNA Extraction Method from Agar or Liquid Swabs for Molecular Detection of MRSA, VRE and KPC Utilizing the NanoCHIP® Microarray Technology

22 May 2014

Hospital acquired infections can be widely prevented through screening of patients before or during hospital admission, and proper patient isolation and management. This study, presented at ECCMID 2014, demonstrates the compatibility of different swabs, with new PCR - NanoCHIP® technology for screening large number of samples for simultaneous detection of MRSA, VRE and KPC in variety of clinical samples.

NanoCHIP® XL Analyzer

Savyon Diagnostics

The NanoChip® system is an automated, multi-purpose instrument which is used for clinical molecular diagnostics. Clinical microbiology, genetics/cytogenetics and pathology laboratories use this convenient platform to identify pathogenic infections, carriage of genetic disorders, predisposition to diseases and response to pharmaceutical therapies. The NanoCHIP® technology is intended for those users that require: Medium-to high throughput Multiplex molecular testing (over 4 markers/sample) Automation Simplicity Full LIS connectivity

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
