Blackbio has launched a fast and reliable diagnostic solution for fungi and yeast identification, in order to optimise and improve prognosis and treatment of infections.
The system allows the identification of any fungi and yeasts species without prior knowledge of the etiology of infection.
It is also valid in cases of coinfections and diagnosis can be completed in less than four hours.
Minimal handling steps and performance are possible, even with small sample amounts.
The Blacklight Fungal ID Kit allows the detection and identification of fungi and yeast in a biological sample with high sensibility and specificity.
Handling is minimal with these kits, minimising possible contamination.
According to the company, it is faster than any traditional method for fungal identification, as diagnostics can be completed in less than four hours, instead of the present two to five.
Blacklight Fungal ID kit has been widely tested in hospitals with clinical samples that have allowed the identification of common fungi and yeasts such as Candida spp and Aspergillus spp, as well as others that are less frequent or have lower incidence.
The product enables the molecular diagnostic of bacterial and fungi infections in a short time, optimising the appropriate antifungal treatment to improve prognosis and treatment of infection, avoiding resistances and improving survival.
