Available now: new configuration of CE-IVD marked FlexStar^® (RT-)PCR Amplification Mix 1.5

Thanks to the modular product design of the FlexStar^® product line, the universal FlexStar^® (RT-)PCR Amplification Mix 1.5 can be used with any FlexStar^® (RT-)PCR Detection Mix, allowing syndrome-based testing of different pathogens.

The new configuration of the FlexStar^® (RT-)PCR Amplification Mix 1.5 contains sufficient reagents to perform 96 real-time PCR reactions and serves as an alternative to the already established configuration containing sufficient reagents to perform 384 real-time PCR reactions. The new configuration ensures an even more flexible application range of the FlexStar^® products. Both configurations of the FlexStar^® (RT-)PCR Amplification Mix 1.5 are available as a CE-IVD marked version.

The FlexStar^® assays can be used with the automated AltoStar^® Workflow from altona Diagnostics or with various real-time PCR cyclers. Currently, altona provides two CE-IVD marked FlexStar^® detection mixes: the FlexStar^® SARS-CoV-2 Type & FLU RT-PCR Detection Mix 1.5 and the FlexStar^® Norovirus Type & Rotavirus RT-PCR Detection Mix 1.5.

Additionally, altona offers six RUO FlexStar^® detection mixes in the respiratory panel, three RUO mixes in the gastrointestinal panel, and an RUO assay for the detection of Monkeypox.

More CE-IVD FlexStar^® versions, and more FlexStar^® detection mixes from various panels are to be launched in the future.
