VIASURE Aspergillus differentiation Real Time PCR Detection Kit is a real time PCR assay designed for the qualitative detection and differentiation of DNA from Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and/or Aspergillus terreus, from bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL), bronchoalveolar aspirates (BAS), and sputum clinical samples from individuals suspected of aspergillosis by their healthcare professional (HCP).

This test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and/or Aspergillus terreus, in combination with clinical and epidemiological risk factors.

DNA is extracted from clinical specimens, amplified using real time PCR, and detected using fluorescent reporter dye probes specific for Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus terreus.
