Next generation multiplexing for gastroenteritis

LiquidArray^® Gastrointestinal is a syndromic panel for gastrointestinal infections, providing comprehensive coverage of up to 28 pathogens in a single workflow.

Harnessing the power of LiquidArray^® technology, the next generation multiplexing approach includes the detection of bacteria, toxins, viruses and parasites. Processing a single stool sample, across two wells, can streamline and simplify gastrointestinal testing.

The LiquidArray^® Gastrointestinal workflow is presented in a familiar, user-friendly format and provides a high throughput, automated solution for integration in the routine laboratory.

Powered by LiquidArray^®

LiquidArray^® from Bruker is a next generation multiplexing PCR-based technology. It is underpinned by the unique features of the FluoroCycler^® XT – Bruker’s high performance thermocycler. With precise temperature control and no optical cross-talk or colour compensation, assays are designed with a high number of targets per optical channel. LiquidArray^® assays are automatically interpreted and reported providing advanced multiplex results at a glance in a familiar, easy to use format.

LiquidArray^® brings next generation multiplexing for infectious disease diagnostics to the routine clinical microbiology laboratory.

Automated workflow for high throughput processing

LiquidArray^®Gastrointestinal is validated for use with the GenoXtract^® fleXT, which enables sample extraction and automated PCR setup. The assay is developed in a two-well format, supporting high throughput gastrointestinal testing from a single extraction. The automated extraction system provides barcode sorting to cut manual intervention and reduce the potential for human error.

Simultaneous detection of 28 pathogens causing gastrointestinal infections

LiquidArray^® Gastrointestinal provides next generation multiplexing of 28 pathogens in a two-well format. It simplifies the workflow of gastrointestinal testing with comprehensive coverage and by supporting the throughput needs of the routine laboratory.
