Prove-it™ Sepsis identifies sepsis-causing bacteria from positive blood culture in only three hours. Thus, it provides essential information for the treatment of the septic patients 1 - 3 days earlier than the current methods.
- Identification of 27 bacterial species at species level, 30 more at taxon level, and the mecA methicillin resistance marker in a single assay. View the complete list of bacteria identified by Prove-it™ Sepsis here.
- Prove-it™ Sepsis results correlate extremely well with the results of the traditional sub-culturing based positive blood culture diagnostics: the clinical sensitivity and specificity was 95 % and 99 %, respectively, based on a broad study where more than 3,300 patient samples were analyzed.
- The identification of bacteria is based on broad-range PCR followed by specific identification of the targets on the TubeArray providing ease-of-use and short hands-on-time.
- Automated result reporting with the Prove-it™ TubeArray System presents the results in a clear and informative manner. Learn more about the Prove-it™ TubeArray System.
