DiAGSure® Anthrax Detection Kit

Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Anthrax Detection Kit is a highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay developed for the detection of Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium responsible for anthrax—a serious zoonotic disease that can affect the skin, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract. Often transmitted through contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products, anthrax poses a significant threat to public health, veterinary sectors, and biodefense. The kit targets conserved virulence genes of B. anthracis, enabling rapid and accurate identification from clinical or environmental samples, even in early infection stages. Early diagnosis is critical, as untreated anthrax can be rapidly fatal, particularly in its inhalational form. The DiAGSure® kit supports timely treatment decisions, outbreak containment, and public health response. It is an essential tool for use in endemic regions, occupational health screenings, and bio-surveillance programs where rapid identification is critical.
