Diagnostics Panel
AMR Gene Panel
Detect today. Treat right. Protect tomorrow. A conventional PCR-based panel detecting a wide range of antimicrobial resistance genes across major bacterial pathogens — covering beta-lactams, carbapenems, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, tetracyclines and sulfonamides, including ESBL, AmpC, carbapenemase and MBL resistance genes.
