C. Albicans-Q Real-Time PCR Kit

Qualitative Detection of Candida albicans DNA

The C. Albicans-Q Real-Time PCR Kit is a CE-IVD molecular diagnostic test designed for the qualitative detection of Candida albicans DNA from human clinical samples.

This assay enables rapid and accurate molecular diagnosis of Candida infections, helping clinical laboratories identify one of the most common opportunistic fungal pathogens through a standardized automated Real-Time PCR workflow. As Candida albicans is responsible for a significant proportion of human fungal infections worldwide, rapid laboratory confirmation is essential for timely patient management and treatment decisions.

Product Overview

The C. Albicans-Q Real-Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay based on advanced Real-Time PCR technology. It performs automated nucleic acid extraction and amplification using the OnePCR Ultra-Fast RT PCR System.

The kit detects:

  • Candida albicans DNA
  • Internal Control (IC) for assay validation and quality assurance

The assay enables rapid identification of Candida albicans, supporting early diagnosis of candidiasis and facilitating prompt initiation of appropriate antifungal therapy. The automated workflow minimizes manual intervention while maintaining consistent and reliable performance.

Why C. Albicans-Q Testing Matters

Candida albicans is a yeast-like fungus commonly found as part of the normal human microbiota. Under certain conditions, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, intensive care patients, transplant recipients, oncology patients, and individuals receiving prolonged antibiotic therapy, it can become pathogenic and cause infections ranging from superficial mucosal candidiasis to severe invasive disease. Because the clinical presentation of Candida infections may overlap with bacterial and viral infections, accurate laboratory diagnosis is essential for effective patient management.

The C. Albicans-Q assay helps laboratories to:
