Rapid molecular diagnostic test for the direct detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii, the causative agent of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)

More detailed product information

eazyplex® Pneumocystis jirovecii is a ready-to-use, lyophilized in vitro diagnostic kit designed for the qualitative detection of P. jirovecii DNA from respiratory samples, such as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial secretions, or tracheal aspirates.

The assay simplifies laboratory workflow by eliminating the need for a separate nucleic acid extraction step.


 

Principle of the Method

  • Utilizes isothermal LAMP amplification for rapid and specific DNA detection

  • No DNA extraction required – sample can be added directly to the reaction mixture

  • Provides results in approximately 25 minutes

  • Includes an internal inhibition control to ensure reaction validity


 

Key Benefits

  • Fast turnaround time supporting early therapeutic decisions

  • Simplified workflow with minimal hands-on time

  • Stable lyophilized reagents ready for immediate use

  • High sensitivity and performance comparable to molecular reference methods


 

Intended Use

The test is intended for clinical microbiology and infectious disease laboratories as an aid in the diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), particularly in immunocompromised patients.

Rapid detection of P. jirovecii supports:

  • Early initiation of appropriate therapy

  • Improved clinical decision-making

  • Enhanced diagnostic capacity in urgent or off-hours settings
