Streck ARM-D - Model ampC - Multiplex Real-time PCR Kit

The Streck ARM-D Kit, ampC is part of a family of comprehensive, multiplex real-time PCR kits that detect over 1,000 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene variants from 26 different gene target families. Streck ARM-D Kits provide a rapid detection strategy for monitoring β-lactam antibiotic resistance to improve surveillance, aid antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs. The ARM-D ampC kit detects over 200 variants in 6 clinically relevant resistance gene families and can differentiate plasmid-mediated ampC β-lactamase resistance from chromosomal resistance.

• Detects 6 antimicrobial resistance gene targets and over 200 variants
• Protocol can be completed in less than one hour
• Compatible with most 4-channel real-time PCR thermal cyclers
• Includes a premixed 2X master mix: DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl₂ and reaction buffer
• Includes positive controls for each gene target to monitor analytical process
• Amplification protocol and analysis guides available

• Avoid false negatives; detect gene variants not covered by cartridge-based kits
• Detect resistance mechanisms prior to obtaining susceptibility results
• Batch testing reduces cost per sample compared to cartridge-based methods
• Ensure accurate and reliable results with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity
• Screen bacterial isolates for AMR genes to complement phenotypic testing
• Improve surveillance, aid antibiotic stewardship programs and support infection control programs
