Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common and highly contagious viral illness primarily affecting young children. It is most often caused by Coxsackievirus A16, Enterovirus 71, and other enteroviruses. Rapid and accurate detection of these viruses is crucial for effective diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of severe complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, and myocarditis.

The Coxsackievirus A16/Enterovirus 71/Enterovirus RNA Diagnostic Kit is a comprehensive tool designed to detect these key pathogens from clinical samples. The kit is optimized for use in clinical laboratories and provides reliable results that aid healthcare professionals in diagnosing HFMD and related infections quickly and accurately. This allows for timely interventions and better management of outbreaks, particularly in pediatric populations where these infections are most prevalent.

The iCassette uses a magnetic bead transfer structure and process technology, as well as a material distributed mixing device structure. It is compatible with the Galaxy: Nano, Lite and Pro. The test can be performed on demand with no minimum batch size requirement, which is advantageous for clinics and hospitals that require rapid results. The fully automated sample magnetic beads extraction to qPCR process provides results in one and a half hours with minimal hands-on time, increasing laboratory efficiency and reducing patient waiting times.

The iCassette  CA16, EV71, and EVG Diagnostic Kit is suitable with oropharyngyal swab. It is stored at 2-8°C and includes internal process control to ensure the accuracy and reliability of each test performed.

This diagnostic kit is an essential resource for clinical laboratories, offering reliable results that support the management of HFMD and other associated infections. Its ability to swiftly identify multiple viral strains in a single test makes it an invaluable tool for improving patient outcomes and controlling the spread of these highly contagious viruses.
