DiAGSure® Coxiella burnetll (Q-fever) Detection Kit (Multiplex, TaqMan Based)

Catalog No.: GDQ6061-20R, GDQ6061-50R, GDQ6061-100R
Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Q-Fever Detection Kit is a highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay designed for the detection of Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever—a globally distributed, highly infectious zoonotic disease. Transmitted primarily through inhalation of contaminated aerosols from infected animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats, Q fever can manifest as an acute febrile illness with symptoms like high fever, fatigue, pneumonia, or hepatitis. In some cases, it may progress to chronic infection, affecting the heart or liver. The kit targets two conserved genetic markers of C. burnetii, ensuring robust and accurate detection across strains. Early diagnosis is critical due to its non-specific clinical presentation and potential for outbreaks among exposed populations. The DiAGSure® kit enables rapid identification of C. burnetii DNA from clinical specimens, supporting timely treatment, outbreak control, and effective surveillance of this important zoonotic pathogen.

Key Specifications:
 Dual-marker detection of Coxiella burnetii ensures accurate identification of Q fever infections.
 Ideal for early diagnosis of acute and chronic Q fever, reducing the risk of severe complications.
 Addresses zoonotic transmission risks, especially in individuals exposed to livestock and contaminated environments.
 High sensitivity and specificity allow detection even in low bacterial-load or asymptomatic cases.
 Compatible with major real-time PCR platforms, allowing easy adoption in clinical and public health labs.

Sample types:
Whole Blood, EDTA Plasma, Respiratory Swabs in VTM, Tissue.
