Molecular
alethia
Alethia is a device of moderate complexity, it uses loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology. This technology has the advantage over RT-PCR to detect and amplify, in one hour, specific DNA or RNA sequences with greater sensitivity and specificity.
The instrument has a variety of tests such as M. pneumonia, C. difficile, GAS, GBS, B. pertussis, HSV 1&2 and cCMV.
Revogene
Revogene is a device of moderate complexity. It is a very easy-to-use, fully automated molecular platform that uses RT-PCR technology. It requires little intervention time from the medical technologist and little maintenance, has interface capability, and positive results will be available in 42 minutes.
It has a menu of tests to detect hospital-acquired infections, such as Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (Carba C); respiratory infections, such as SARS Cov2 and Group A Streptococcus; gastrointestinal infections, such as C. difficile; and neonatal infections, such as Group B Streptococcus.
