PlexPCR® Flu/RSV/SARS-CoV-2
Upfront Diagnosis
This Class B IVDR Certified and TGA-cleared product detects clinically relevant seasonal respiratory viruses Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (A&B) and SARS-CoV-2 virus in a single-well multiplex qPCR test.
Triage seasonal respiratory testing with PlexPCR® Flu/RSV/SARS-CoV-2
Infections caused by Flu A, Flu B, RSV (A & B), and SARS-CoV-2 can all present with similar clinical symptoms. Adopt PlexPCR® Flu/RSV/SARS-CoV-2 to triage and diagnose these important seasonal respiratory viruses upfront.
Class B IVDR Certified and TGA-cleared
Stay ahead of seasonal influenza that results in substantial worldwide disease burden1
RSV is an important inclusion. It is a common cause of respiratory infections, and the main cause of severe cases of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants and young children2,3
Confidently detect SARS-CoV-2, including current known circulating variants4
With peaks in seasonal respiratory test numbers, sample workload for laboratories can push testing capacity. Prioritising detection of common respiratory viruses with a uniform testing approach can improve efficiency and productivity.
PlexPCR® Flu/RSV/SARS-CoV-2 Workflow Solution — Combat seasonal testing surges with ease
Take advantage of our flexible workflow to achieve scalable throughput, easily adapting to seasonal test surges.
Maximise detection with this single-well multiplex test, by simultaneously detecting Flu A, Flu B, RSV (A & B), and SARS-CoV-2.
Obtain high sample throughput. Process up to 96 reactions per run and maintain clinically relevant turn-around times during peak testing season.
Utilise provided analysis software to achieve automated result calling and simple data processing.
Affordable and Efficient
The COVID-19 pandemic and recent respiratory testing seasons have impacted laboratories with dramatic fluctuations in testing demands and staffing. Some laboratories are left with underused equipment and a drive to replace lost revenue, highlighting the need for affordable and efficient solutions.
PlexPCR® Flu/RSV/SARS-CoV-2 can help your laboratory work effectively and efficiently.
Upfront diagnosis, with a focussed multiplex and robust workflow, will streamline your routine testing
Test with your existing QuantStudio 5 instrument and avoid the expense of acquiring new systems and associated training, implementation and service contract costs.
