Obrazek produktu - eazyplex® CSF direct
Rapid molecular diagnostic test designed for the qualitative detection of infectious agents (bacteria and viruses) directly from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

More detailed product information

eazyplex® CSF direct is a ready-to-use, lyophilized in vitro diagnostic assay that detects both bacterial and viral pathogens from CSF. The panel includes targets frequently associated with meningitis and other serious central nervous system infections, making it a valuable tool for rapid diagnostic support in urgent clinical settings.


 

How It Works

  • Utilizes LAMP (Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification) technology for fast and specific detection directly from cerebrospinal fluid.

  • No DNA extraction step is needed, reducing hands-on time and complexity.

  • Results are available in approximately 30 minutes, enabling timely clinical decisions.

  • Real-time amplification detection allows early identification of pathogens.


 

Detectable Targets

The standard eazyplex® CSF direct kit includes detection of these common CNS infection agents:

  • HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1)

  • HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2)

  • VZV (Varicella-Zoster Virus)

  • Neisseria meningitidis

  • Streptococcus pneumoniae

  • Streptococcus agalactiae

  • Listeria monocytogenes

Variant panels are also available:

  • eazyplex® CSF direct M – bacterial panel including additional H. influenzae and E. coli parameters.

  • eazyplex® CSF direct V – viral panel focused on HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV.


 

Key Benefits

  • Rapid turnaround time (~30 min) supports early therapeutic decisions.

  • Simplified workflow with no DNA extraction reduces preparation time.

  • Lyophilized reagents are stable and ready to use.

  • Detects both bacterial and viral CNS pathogens in one panel.


 

Intended Use

This test is intended for clinical microbiology laboratories as an aid in the rapid identification of pathogens in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with suspected meningitis or central nervous system infections. Quick pathogen detection supports prompt treatment initiation and improved patient management.
