AltoStar® PCR reagents are altona Diagnostics-specific products, which are part of the workflow based on AltoStar® AM16 and AltoStar® Connect software. All tubes and containers of the AltoStar® Purification Kit 1.5, the AltoStar® Internal Control 1.5 and the AltoStar® PCR Kit 1.5 are barcoded by the AltoStar® system; for automated identification, localization and verification of lot conformity, as well as non-expiry.
The AltoStar® PCR reagents kits are based on real-time PCR technology, utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplification of specified target sequences and target-specific probes in order to detect amplified DNA or RNA.
The AltoStar® Purification Kit 1.5 uses magnetic particle technology and is intended to be used for automated isolation and purification of nucleic acids from specified human specimens for in vitro diagnostic purposes. It permits simultaneous purification of RNA and DNA from multiple sample types.
The AltoStar® pretreatment buffers are intended for the stabilization and liquefaction of specified human specimen for the subsequent isolation and purification of nucleic acids with the AltoStar® Purification Kit 1.5 for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
The AltoStar® Internal Control 1.5 is intended to be used as a nucleic acid extraction, amplification and detection control for in vitro diagnostic purposes. The AltoStar® PCR reagents control contains the internal purification control and is added at the beginning of the purification procedure.
