iAMP GBS Detection Kit
The iAMP GBS Detection Kit is a real-time isothermal PCR assay based on Atila’s proprietary isothermal amplification technology intended for the qualitative detection of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) DNA from 18-24 hours Lim broth enrichments of vaginal/rectal swab samples.
Each kit includes 100 tests.
This product is research use only in the US.
iAMP GBS Detection Kit
The iAMP GBS Detection Kit is intended for use to qualitatively detect the presence of GBS DNA from 18-24 hour Lim broth enrichments of vaginal/rectal swab samples. Based on our isothermal technology, this assay kit features simple procedures and economic price, with superior sensitivity and specificity.
In the United States, Group B Streptococcus (GBS) bacteria is a leading cause of meningitis and bacteremia in a newborn’s first week of life. Maternal intrapartum GBS colonization is the primary risk factor for early-onset disease in infants.
About 1 in every 4 pregnant women carry group B strep bacteria in the rectum or vagina. Therefore, CDC recommend doctors to test pregnant woman for group B strep bacteria when they are 35 to 37 weeks pregnant. If diagnosed as GBS positive, pregnant women can be given antibiotics during labor to prevent early-onset GBS disease in newborns.
