ARGENE® - Overview

R-GENE® Real-time PCR assays

Built on more than 25 years of expertise in virological diagnosis, ARGENE® is an innovative and comprehensive range of ready-to-use real-time PCR assays for the diagnosis of infectious diseases.

R-GENE® assay ranges provide an extensive menu of parameters. Offering sensitivity and specificity, R-GENE® assays enable to provide rapid and reliable results for the management of bacterial and viral infections. Time-to-results for all kits is within 2 hours (after extraction).

 

ARGENE® - Benefits

Ease-of-use:

  • Just add the extracted sample to the ready-to-use PCR master mix and start the PCR on the appropriate thermocycler
  • Use manual or automated assay setup platform such as ESTREAM®
  • "A la carte" testing

Standardized:

  • Uniform processing within the R-GENE® range of products
  • Harmonized protocol for multiple assays in one run
  • Protocol to convert quantification results from copies/mL into IU/mL with WHO International Standards (available for CMV, EBV, B19V, BKV, HHV6)

CE-IVD/CE-IVDR assays:

  • On major extraction platforms (including NUCLISENS® easyMAG® and EMAG®)
  • On major real-time PCR systems
  • On most relevant specimen types

All-inclusive:

  • Ready-to-use amplification master mix, Positive control and negative control
  • Internal control or Cell control
  • In quantitative assays, 4 Quantification Standards and 1 Sensitivity Control

ARGENE® Product Range:

ARGENE® Transplant range:

Viral infections / reactivations remain a major complication for transplant patients.

Real-Time PCR assays permit rapid and specific of various viral infections prior to viral diseases. This is of vital importance in the management of the transplant patients, to prevent rejection and to allow patient survival.
