Test Kit Solana® Group B Strep Molecular Diagnostic Group B Streptococcus Vaginal Secretion / Rectal Swab Sample 48 Tests CLIA Moderate Complexity

The assay utilizes helicase-dependent amplification (HDA) for the amplification of a highly conserved fragment of the Thiolase (atoB) gene sequence and is intended for use only with the Solana instrument

An overnight LIM or Carrot broth culture enriched from a swab is lysed by simple heat treatment, aliquoted and added to a Reaction Tube containing lyophilized mix of HDA reagents including primers specific for the amplification of a fragment from the conserved region of the Thiolase (atoB) DNA

Results are displayed on the touchscreen, can be saved to the instrument, printed, and are capable of being sent to the LIS and exported through one of Solana’s four USB ports
