FluChip
Rapid Pathogen Detection and Identification
An important current public health concern is the ability to detect and distinguish between typical seasonal influenza viruses and non-seasonal influenza A viruses, such as novel 2009 H1N1 and avian H5N1. InDevR’s FluChip low-density microarray is a new analytical tool that addresses this need by rapidly identifying non-seasonal viruses.
The FluChip assay is based on multiplexed reverse transcription and PCR amplification with detection on a low-density microarray. Using a simple but powerful pattern of spots, the FluChip can delineate seasonal influenza A infections from those caused by non-seasonal influenza A viruses. Because it is inexpensive, easy-to-use, and field portable, the FluChip assay coupled with ampliPHOX Colorimetric Detection Technology is an excellent choice for laboratories without the resources to perform expensive fluorescence-based
real-time PCR or microarray experiments.
