Rapid Detection of Norovirus Infection
Qualitative RT-PCR detection of Norovirus
Clinical Significance
Noroviruses, often referred to as winter-vomiting disease or stomach flu, are notorious for their rapid spread among human populations, particularly during the winter season. They are highly contagious and account for the majority of gastrointestinal infections. On the other hand, Rotaviruses are responsible for severe diarrheal illness, primarily affecting infants and young children. Transmission of these pathogens commonly occurs within healthcare institutions, including patient-to-patient contact, contaminated hands of healthcare workers, or through environmental contamination.
The Vivalytic Norovirus Panel, specifically engineered to detect the presence of Norovirus (genogroup I/II) in various clinical specimens to facilitate streamlined healthcare practices. By empowering healthcare providers with advanced capabilities, this diagnostic tool enhances their ability to combat Norovirus infections and implement necessary preventive measures in various settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, and schools.

“AWARD-WINNING DESIGN DELIVERS
AN UNCOMPLICATED USER EXPERIENCE”
Vivalytic Workflow
Intuitive engineering of Vivalytic ensures the analyser is user friendly. The process of patient sample to result comprises a very simple 4 step workflow.
To begin the test, the user scans or enters sample information. The cartridge code is then scanned into the embedded Vivalytic software. The user then adds sample into the dedicated cartridge slot, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the Vivalytic.
The touchscreen display will countdown the time remaining to test completion. Results will be displayed on the screen. Multiple Vivalytics can be wirelessly connected allowing the user to control multiple tests at one time all reporting to a master Vivalytic platform.
