Retro Biotech’s Meningitis/Encephalitis multiplex PCR panel is intended for the qualitative detection of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens associated with central nervous system (CNS) infections. The panel supports rapid, sensitive identification to aid timely intervention. A human internal control (IC; RNase P) is included to monitor sample adequacy and PCR performance.
Reagents are manufactured and packaged as Open System Reagents (OSR) for use with Applied Biosystems QuantStudio (Design & Analysis v1.5.1+), Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx (SDS v1.4+), and Bio-Rad CFX96/CFX384 (Maestro v1.1+) real-time PCR platforms. Multiplex reaction mixes (MERM-1 to MERM-6) are supplied as pre-mixed tubes for streamlined workflows.
The kit consists of pre-formulated multiplex PCR reactions and controls for monitoring assay performance.
Per-mix map (MERM-1…MERM-6) and dye/channel assignments available on request.
Research Use Only (RUO). Custom pack sizes available on request.
