TrueMark Infectious Disease Research Panels

A flexible, scalable, and reliable solution for lab optimization utilizing real-time PCR instrumentation

Expand your laboratory testing capabilities with PCR-based research solutions to accommodate a growing number of infectious disease areas, that enable early, accurate detection and differentiation compared to traditional methods. Detection of common infectious diseases with traditional culture- or microscopy-based methods are antiquated and lack sensitivity and specificity. Real-time PCR (qPCR) is an innovative solution for detecting slow-growing, difficult-to-cultivate, or uncultivable microorganisms.

In order to effectively study outbreaks and determine disease etiology where pathogens are similar, analytically sensitive panels are needed to support laboratory research studies.

Applied Biosystems TrueMark Infectious Disease Research Panels are convenient, duplexed TaqMan assays that are performed on pre-spotted and dried-down plates that include microorganism‑specific pathogens, utilizing real‑time PCR techniques.

This enables rapid, accurate detection and categorization of microorganisms that cause respiratory, vaginal, urinary, gastrointestinal, wound, and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as antibiotic resistance research.

Our portfolio of infectious disease panels are available in predefined and customizable options. Choose from an extensive list of pathogens to create your own plate, or ten different predefined panels in several disease states, with preselected assay targets.

Benefits of the TrueMark Predefined Plus and Custom Panels
 

Duplexed assays 

• Allow for the simultaneous detection of target and control in the same well
• Help increase confidence in results
• Are designed to reduce the need to run replicates, helping to lower cost and minimize workflow complexity

Pre-spotted and dried down plates

• Target and RNAse P or Bacillus atrophaeus* process control assays dried down in plate 
• Designed to reduce hands on time and errors in the workflow

Amplification control

• One control covers all disease area targets, panels, and applications
• Makes it easier and faster for labs to implement

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Maximize your workflow

Expand your research testing menu with the TrueMark Infectious Disease Research Panels utilizing one workflow, with our custom, made-to-order, or predefined panels on TaqMan Array Plates for 96-well and 384-well panels which are compatible for use on QuantStudio qPCR systems. Go from sample to result in approximately four hours.
