ARM-D^® Kit, MCR

The Streck ARM-D Kit, MCR is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This kit detects multiple variants the following plasmid-mediated mobilized colistin resistant (mcr) gene families: mcr-1, mcr-2 and mcr-3-4-5.

The Streck ARM-D Kit, MCR 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 to improve AMR surveillance, aid in antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs. The ARM-D MCR kit detects 48 variants in the following gene families: mcr-1, mcr-2 and mcr-3-4-5.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
A CE version of this kit is also available.

Features

Detects and differentiates mcr-1, mcr-2 and mcr-3-4-5 gene families
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
