DiAGSure® Streptococcus pneumoniae Detection Kit (Multiplex, TaqMan Based)

Catalog No.: GDQ2011-20R 20, GDQ2011-50R, GDQ2011-100R
Intent to use:
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media, sinusitis, and septicemia, particularly in children under five, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. It can cause both non-invasive and invasive pneumococcal diseases, with symptoms ranging from mild respiratory illness to severe, life-threatening infections. Rapid diagnosis is critical to initiate appropriate antibiotic therapy and reduce the risk of complications, antibiotic resistance, and transmission. The DiAGSure® Streptococcus pneumoniae Detection Kit is a highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay designed for the accurate detection of S. pneumoniae DNA in clinical specimens. The assay targets conserved genomic regions to ensure reliable detection and includes internal controls for result validation. With ready-to-use reagents and compatibility with standard real-time PCR platforms, the kit delivers rapid, precise results—making it ideal for use in clinical diagnostics, surveillance programs, and outbreak response efforts.
