The Streck ARM-D Kit, TEM/SHV/GES is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit detects over 350 variants in the TEM, SHV and GES gene families.
Every kit includes positive controls for each gene target to monitor analytical process as well as an endogenous internal control (16SrRNA gene) to reduce false negatives due to PCR inhibition, DNA degradation or poor extraction.
All Streck ARM-D kits are compatible with most 4-channel real-time thermal cyclers. An amplification protocol and analysis guide are available for the following instruments: Applied Biosystems™ 7500 Fast and 7500 Fast Dx, QuantStudio™ 7Flex, Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch™ and QIAGEN Rotor-Gene® Q.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Detects over 200 allelic variants in the TEM, SHV and GES 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)
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

The ARM-D Kit, TEM/SHV/GES is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance genes in gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit detects over 350 variants in the TEM, SHV and GES gene families, which encode extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) that confer resistance to many β-lactam antibiotics.
All Streck ARM-D Kits are for Research Use Only (RUO) and are not for use in diagnostic procedures.
TEM, SHV and GES are families of β-lactamase enzymes that can hydrolyze β-lactam antibiotics. Many variants within these families are extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) that confer resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins and monobactams in addition to penicillins. Detection of these enzymes is important for understanding resistance patterns in gram-negative bacteria.
The ARM-D Kit, TEM/SHV/GES detects over 350 allelic variants across the TEM, SHV and GES gene families. This extensive coverage includes many ESBL variants not detected by other testing methods.
The ARM-D Kit, TEM/SHV/GES is compatible with most 4-channel real-time PCR thermal cyclers. This broad compatibility allows researchers to use their existing molecular testing infrastructure without requiring specialized equipment.
The ARM-D Kit, TEM/SHV/GES includes positive controls for each gene target and a premixed 2X master mix containing DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and reaction buffer. This ready-to-use format simplifies workflow and ensures consistent performance across testing runs.
