The Streck ARM-D Kit, β-Lactamase is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit detects multiple variants within the following antimicrobial resistance gene families: KPC, NDM, OXA-48, IMP, VIM, DHA, CMY-2, CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-15.
Product Description
The Streck 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, improving AMR surveillance, aid in antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs. The ARM-D β-Lactamase kit detects over 450 variants in 9 clinically relevant carbapenemases, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated ampC gene families: CMY-2, CTX-M-14, CTX-M-15, OXA-48, IMP, VIM, DHA, KPC and NDM.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
A CE version of this kit is also available.
Features
- Detects 9 antimicrobial resistance gene targets and over 350 variants
- Protocol can be completed in less than one hour
- Compatible with most 4-channel real-time PCR thermal cyclers
- Includes a premixed 2X master mix: DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and reaction buffer
- Includes positive controls for each gene target to monitor analytical process
- Amplification protocol and analysis guides available
Benefits
- Avoid false negatives; detect gene variants not covered by cartridge-based kits
- Detect resistance mechanisms prior to obtaining susceptibility results
- Batch testing reduces cost per sample compared to cartridge-based methods
- Ensure accurate and reliable results with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity
- Screen bacterial isolates for AMR genes to complement phenotypic testing
- Improve surveillance, aid antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs
