Kits

Simplified and easy-to-use testing

Rosco Diagnostica acknowledges the increasing need for detection of resistance mechanisms. In order to supply our customers/users with a convenient system for detection, rapid colorimetric and assembled kits with disc diffusion tablets are available. The kits are complete with ready-to-use cartridges of the necessary combined Neo-Sensitabs™ or Diatabs™ and a guide to their use.

1) BETA – LACTAMASES

a) Rapid Colorimetric Kits (15 min-1 hour)

98022 – Rapid ESBL Screen kit: ESBLs
98023 – Rapid BLUE CARB Kit: Carbapenemases
98024 – Neo-Rapid CARB Kit: Carbapenemases

Rosco Diagnostica Rapid colorimetric Kits have the following advantages compared to competitors:

More rapid results
No reagent preparation needed
Longer shelf-life
Stable crystalline imipenem
Simple and fast procedure 5 min/test
Reduced amounts of lysis buffer or no lysis buffer
Lower cost
Detect new genes (compared to PCR)

b) Phenotypic Methods (18 hours)

98006 – KPC and MBL Confirm Kit: Carbapenemases
98007 – AmpC Confirm Kit: AmpC Enterobacteriaceae
98008 – ESBL + AmpC Screen Kit: ESBL + AmpC
98010 – Triple disk for detection of KPC+MBL
98011 – ESBL Confirm (acc to CLSI) Kit: ESBLs
98012 – ESBL Confirm (Chrom AmpC) Kit: ESBLs
98014 – Total ESBL Confirm Kit: ESBLs
98015 – KPC, MBL and OXA-48 Confirm Kit: Carbapenemases
98016 – Total Metallo-beta-lactamase Confirm Kit: MBLs
98019 – Total ESBL+AmpC Confirm Kit: ESBL + AmpC
98025 – KPC/MBL inP.aeruginosa/Acinetobacter, version 2

WHY PHENOTYPIC METHODS?

Phenotypic methods are useful for detection of beta-lactamases. They are cheap and easy to perform and interpret. Molecular techniques, on the contrary, are expensive, require significant expertise and do not
identify novel and emerging resistance genes or even slightly structurally modified genes.

2) OTHERS

98017 – Detection of hVISA, GISA, VRE, Daptomycin resistance
98018 – Detection of COLISTIN resistance in Enterobacteriaceae, P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp.

The kits are complete with ready-to-use cartridges of the necessary combined Neo-Sensitabs™ or Diatabs™ and a guide to their use.
