Prove-it™ Sepsis StripArray

Accurate DNA-based identification of 80 bacterial and fungal pathogens, and antibiotic resistance markers
- All in a single assay!

Prove-it™ Sepsis assay identifies sepsis-causing bacteria and fungi from positive blood culture in only 3,5 hours. Thus, it provides essential information for the treatment of septic patients 1 - 3 days earlier than traditional methods.

The new, improved CE-IVD version of Prove-it™ Sepsis: StripArray v2.0 provides more comprehensive answers with less effort. The extended pathogen panel covers ~90 % of all sepsis-causing pathogens, including fungi. The laboratory workflow is easy including less hands-on-time due to the new StripArray platform.

• Method: the highly reliable DNA-based identification is carried out by broad-range PCR followed by specific identification on a microarray.
• Coverage: over 60 bacteria, 13 fungi and the mecA methicillin resistance marker in one assay. More coming up shortly! View the complete list of current targets here.
• Performance: Prove-it™ Sepsis results correlate extremely well with the results of traditional sub-culturing based Gold standard methods. The clinical performance has been evaluated by analyzing more than 3,300 patient samples with excellent results: 95 % sensitivity and 99 % specificity. *The Lancet 2010
• Results: Automated assay detection and analysis with Prove-it™ Advisor software on Prove-it™ StripArray System. The results are presented in a clear and informative manner.
• Prove-it™ Sepsis assay is also available on TubeArray with limited content.
