The GeneProof Legionella pneumophila PCR Kit is a CE IVD certified diagnostic test designed to enable reliable detection of Legionella sp. The kit is secured by targeting the multicopy sequence of the 16S rRNA gene, which provides high sensitivity in the detection of Legionella sp. The kit has a simple laboratory workflow and is easily combinable with other GeneProof PCR kits in one workflow. The Master Mix in the kit contains Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) and dUTPs, eliminating carryover contamination. The kit is compatible with a wide range of real-time PCR devices.
