AID CAP bac PCR kit – fast differentiation of bacterial CAP pathogens without culture

• Designed for initial screening of bacterial CAP pathogens on a single test strip
• Differentiation of nine different types of the most common microorganisms
• Test results available after approximately 4 hours
• Suitable for automated systems
• CE IVD

Common cultivation times for detection of bacterial pathogens causing pneumonia are generally 24 – 48 hours.
Therefore it‘s not possible to initiate a specific antibiotic therapy within few hours after hospitalization.

However these goals can be attained with the kit AID CAP Bac.

It specifically detects the most common pathogens causing pneumonia within 4 hours. With the differentiation of pathogens on the test strip, a specific antibiotic therapy is now possible.

The mortality rate especially in elderly patients can be decreased. Also a shortened length of stay and resulting hospital cost reduction is achieved.
