SelectNA™ is the first bead-based automated system for the selective enrichment and isolation of bacterial and fungal DNA from whole blood samples. SelectNA™ makes detection and identification of pathogens more reliable and less time-consuming than manual systems. The unique closed pump pipetting system and the included UV lamp provide a highly contained automat excluding contamination.

SelectNA™ uses DNA-free, pre-filled reagents and consumables provided with the Blood Pathogen Kit. By the removal of the human DNA background and enrichment of pathogen DNA this system significantly increases the sensitivity and the specificity of PCR or Real-Time PCR downstream assaying of microbial target DNA up to 40,000-fold as compared to conventional systems.

Pathogen Detection and Identification System SepsiTest SelectNA is the complete system for direct pathogen detection and identification in blood. SepsiTest SelectNA combines the automated pathogen DNA isolation with universal Real-Time PCR assays for more than 345 bacteria and fungi, including also rare and difficult to grow infectious agents.

Key benefits:

• Up to 40,000 better PCR sensitivity
• Easy to handle
• Flexible throughput of 1-12 samples
• DNA-free reagents and processing
• Exclusion of contamination during DNA isolation
• UV decontamination of instrument
• Ready for CE-IVD labeling of clinical applications
