Yeast and Fungus Detection Kits
Genus Candida is ranked as one of the most common groups of fungal organisms that cause hospital-acquired infections. The genus Candida is composed of more than 20 species. Fungal infections caused by Candida is called candidiasis, which could be mostly grouped as oropharyngeal candidiasis, vaginal candidiasis and invasive candidiasis that occur by entrance of Candida species in bloodstream.
Aspergillus which is an airborne fungi, is a natural part of ecosystem. Aspergillus include more than hundred species and few types of this fungi are pathogenic and these pathogens can cause hypersensitivity reactions, infectious diseases and toxic effects by inhalation via asexual spores. The fungi cause aspergillosis (allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, Invasive aspergillosis, skin aspergillosis etc.) and Aspergillus infections can be mortal in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed cancer patients and patients with lung disease.

Yeast and Fungus Detection Kits
Bosphore Aspergillus Detection Kit v1 detects Aspergillus DNA in human biological samples, encompassing the most important genotypes of Aspergillus (Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus ustus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus versicolor, Aspergillus glaucus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus sclerotiorum, Aspergillus ochraceus, Aspergillus candidus, Aspergillus alliaceus, Aspergillus wentii, Aspergillus carbonarius, Aspergillus sydowii, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus ficuum, Aspergillus silvaticus, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus tamarii, Aspergillus proliferans, Aspergillus cervinus, Aspergillus restrictus, Aspergillus pseudoglaucus, Aspergillus sparsus, Aspergillus flavipes). The analytic sensitivity is 10 copies/µl. A region within the 18S ribosomal RNA gene is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the FAM filter.
An internal control has been integrated into the kit in order to check PCR inhibition. The amplification data of the internal control is detected with the HEX filter. The internal control is added in PCR step.
Bosphore C. albicans Detection Kit v1 detects C. albicans DNA in human biological samples such as blood, blood culture, epithelial cells, semen, urine, prostatic secretions. The analytic sensitivity is 100 copies/ml. A region within the Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) gene is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the FAM filter.
An internal control has been integrated into the kit in order to check PCR inhibition. The amplification data of the internal control is detected with the HEX filter. The internal control is added in PCR step.
Bosphore Candida Basic Panel Kit v2 detects and characterizes Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Candida parapsilosis in human biological samples. Fluorescence detection is accomplished using the FAM, HEX, Texas Red and Cy5 filters.
In the first PCR tube with PCR Master Mix 1, Candida albicans genome is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the FAM filter. Candida glabrata genome is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the Cy5 filter.
In the second PCR tube with PCR Master Mix 2, Candida krusei genome is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the HEX filter. Candida parapsilosis genome is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the Cy5 filter.
An internal control has been integrated into the kit in order to check PCR inhibition. The amplification data of the internal control is detected with the Texas Red filter in PCR Master Mix 1 and PCR Master Mix 2.
