Specimen-specific ™ qPCR & RT-qPCR Mixes
Sensitive detection in multiplex assays using saliva samples (up to 60% human saliva) or Universal Transport Media (up to 35% UTM)
Air-Dryable TM Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Saliva (MDX131)
Influenza A
MERS-CoV
RSV
Air-dried | TaqPath TM (Thermo) | Ultraplex TM (QuantaBio)
Three respiratory pathogens, Influenza A, Middle East Respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) were amplified in a triplex qPCR assay in the presence of 35% Universal Transport Media (UTM) with artificial sputum swab. The results illustrate that a higher performance was achieved with Air-Dryable TM Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Saliva (MDX131, red ) compared to the inhibitor-tolerant RT-qPCR mixes TaqPath TM (Thermo, black ) or Ultraplex TM (QuantaBio, grey ).
Efficient amplification using the mix in a wet or dried down format
Lyo-Ready TM Direct DNA qPCR Saliva (MDX132)
Lyo-Ready TM Direct DNA qPCR Saliva (MDX132) was used in a 10-fold serial dilution of DNA (10,000, 1,000, 100 and 10 copies respectively), in presence of 20% artificial sputum in both liquid ( blue ) and lyophilized ( red ) formats. The results illustrate that the lyophilized mix retains the ability to efficiently amplified to the same level as the liquid mix with the same level of sensitivity and reproducibility.

Lyo-Ready TM Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Saliva (MDX133)
Lyo-Ready TM Direct DNA/RNA qPCR Saliva (MDX133) was used in a 10-fold serial dilution of RNA (10,000, 1,000, 100 and 10 copies respectively), in the presence of 5% artificial sputum in both liquid ( blue ) and lyophilized ( red ) formats. The results illustrate that the lyophilized mix retains the ability to efficiently amplify to the same level as the liquid mix with the same level of sensitivity and reproducibility.
