Product Description

Brand Cepheid
Product Type PCR Kit
Pack Size 10T
CAT No GXMRSA/SA-SSTI-10
Application Molecular Biology

Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI is a fast, on-demand test for detecting MRSA and SA from skin and soft tissue swabs in around one hour. Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI is the most comprehensive Staph aureus test available. Includes targets for Staph aureus, MRSA, and mecA Identifies presumptive positive "empty cassette" strains for correct classification as SA sensitive. Unparalleled automation with the GeneXpert System provides reduced hands-on time and improved laboratory efficiency.



Fast and Accurate SSTI Pathogen Detection

Cepheid Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI delivers rapid, automated detection and differentiation of MRSA and SA in skin and soft tissue samples. With results available in about an hour, it provides clinicians with timely, actionable information to guide patient management, leveraging high sensitivity and specificity. The closed-cartridge design ensures user safety and sample integrity.


Seamless Workflow for Clinical Laboratories

Intended for clinical laboratory professionals, the assay requires minimal training and offers a highly streamlined workflow. The easy-to-use cartridge system integrates seamlessly with the GeneXpert Instrument System, supporting efficient sample processing with reduced contamination risk. Each cartridge contains internal controls for assured quality, allowing laboratories to produce consistent, reliable results.

FAQ's of Cepheid Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI:


Q: How does the Cepheid Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI assay detect MRSA and SA in skin and soft tissue specimens?

A: The assay uses a fully automated, real-time PCR process to amplify and detect SPA, mecA, and SCCmec genetic targets specific to SA and MRSA. Results are qualitative, indicating if MRSA or SA DNA is detected or if the specimen is negative.

Q: What types of samples can be used with this assay, and how should they be collected?

A: Suitable samples include swabs or fluid from skin and soft tissue infections, such as wounds and abscesses. Specimens should be collected following clinical protocols and processed according to the instructions for use.

Q: When and where can the Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI assay be utilized?

A: This assay is designed for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained professionals. It is suited for any laboratory equipped with the Cepheid GeneXpert Instrument System and can be utilized whenever rapid results for SSTI pathogens are needed.

Q: What is the process for running the test, and how are results obtained?

A: After collecting the specimen, the user inserts it into the sealed cartridge and loads the cartridge into the GeneXpert system. The process is fully automated, including sample preparation, PCR amplification, and detection. Results are displayed qualitatively on the instrument in about one hour.

Q: What benefits does the Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI assay offer compared to traditional methods?

A: This assay provides rapid turnaround (approximately one hour), requires minimal user intervention, and uses a closed cartridge system to reduce contamination risk. Its high sensitivity and specificity support informed clinical decision-making.

Q: How should cartridges be transported and stored to maintain assay integrity?

A: Cartridges are individually sealed for safety and should be transported at ambient temperature. For storage, keep them between 2-28C (36-82F) and avoid freezing. Always check the packaging for expiration details.
