The Solana Strep Complete Assay is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of Group A B-hemolytic Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes), and pyogenic Group C/G (streptococcus dysgalactiae) nucleic acids isolated from throat swab specimens obtained from patients with signs and symptoms of pharyngitis, such as sore throat
A throat swab sample or an aliquot of liquid transport media is lysed by simple heat treatment, diluted, and added to two Reaction Tubes, one containing primers and probes specific for Group A Strep, the other containing primers and probes for strep dysgalactiae HDA reagents including primers specific for the amplification of the DNAase B (sdaB) sequence as well as sequence specific probes
Results are displayed on the touchscreen, can be saved to the instrument, printed, and are capable of being sent to the LIS and exported through one of Solanas four USB ports
