Sentosa SA C. diff PCR Test v2.0
The Sentosa SA C. diff PCR Test v2.0 is a duplex, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based research use only test, targeting toxin B gene (tcdB) in the toxigenic Clostridium difficile strains, for the qualitative detection of C. difficile nucleic acids isolated and purified from liquid or soft stool.
This research use only test is configured for use on the Sentosa SX101 instrument, with the Sentosa SX Virus Total Nucleic Acid Kit v2.0, in conjunction with the Rotor-Gene® Q MDx 5plex HRM instrument.
