SepCheck Fish-kits

The SepCheck™ is a fast, simple to use and validated FISH test developed to detect pathogenic bacteria in blood on a epi-fluorescence microscope where you can choose between a FITC (495/520 nm) and CY3 (550/570 nm) label.
  • 10-MC-B001 Staphylococcus aureus
  • 10-MC-B002 Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus
  • 10-MC-B003 Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus
  • 10-MC-B004 Gram Positive cocci: Streptococcus spp., Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis
  • 10-MC-B005 Gram Negative rods: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacterium spp.
The advantages of the SepCheck™:
  • Easy to perform protocol (like the Gram stain) for the specific detection of a bacterial group, genus or species.
  • Cost reduction of identification
  • Reduction of the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which will result in a lower frequency of resistance against broad-spectrum antibiotics.
  • Cost reduction for the hospitals, suppressive empiric therapy will be replaced by tailored antibiotics with small spectra of activity and hospital beds will be sooner available.
