iAMP® TORCH Panel
The iAMP® TORCH Panel is an extraction-free real-time fluorescent isothermal PCR assay based on Atila’s proprietary isothermal amplification technology intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria, parasites, and viruses directly from blood samples obtained from pregnant women with or suspected of any of these infections.
The following organism types and subtypes are identified by iAMP® TORCH Panel are: Toxoplasma gondii, Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum (Syphilis), Rubella (German measles), Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex Virus I and Herpes Simplex Virus II.
The iAMP ® TORCH Panel is intended for use by trained laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time nucleic acid amplification.
This product is for RUO.
Each kit includes 96 tests.
iAMP® TORCH Panel
Infections are a major threat to human reproductive health, and infections in pregnancy can cause prematurity or stillbirth, or can be vertically transmitted to the fetus leading to congenital infection and severe disease. The acronym ‘TORCH’ (Toxoplasma gondii, Other, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex virus) refers to pathogens directly associated with the development of congenital diseases. In this context, comprehensive testing and early detection of these infections would greatly assist in implementing timely interventions to reduce the chance of transmission of these infections to the unborn child and will ensure better maternal and fetal health outcomes.
