    Convenient 4 step process from sample entry to results. Suitable for use in laboratory and non-laboratory settings.

     

  • null
    Real-time PCR enables rapid and targeted detection up to 4 weeks after the onset of symptoms Streptococcus pyogenes.

Clinical Significance

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is the primary culprit behind bacterial pharyngitis in school-aged children. Typically resulting in a mild illness characterised by symptoms such as a sore throat, headache,
and fever, GAS infections may also manifest as scarlet fever, presenting with a fine, red rash. Although often manageable, severe cases warrant antibiotic treatment for effective resolution.

An automated, qualitative in vitro diagnostic test employing real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is utilised to detect nucleic acids from Streptococcus pyogenes in human oropharyngeal swabs. This advanced test serves as a valuable aid in diagnosing streptococcal pharyngitis in symptomatic individuals.

“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.
