S. Pneumonia-Q Real-Time PCR Kit

Qualitative Detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae DNA

The S. PNEUMONIA-Q Real-Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) molecular diagnostic assay designed for the qualitative detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae-specific DNA from human respiratory clinical samples.

The assay enables rapid and accurate molecular detection of S. pneumoniae through a fully automated sample-to-result Real-Time PCR workflow using the OnePCR Ultra-Fast POC RT-PCR System, supporting timely diagnosis and effective clinical management of pneumococcal infections.

Product Overview

The S. PNEUMONIA-Q Real-Time PCR Kit is based on advanced Real-Time PCR technology and is specifically optimized for use with the OnePCR Ultra-Fast POC RT-PCR System. The platform integrates automated nucleic acid extraction, and Real- Time PCR amplification into a single streamlined workflow, significantly reducing manual intervention and turnaround time.

The kit detects:

  • Streptococcus pneumoniae DNA
  • Internal Control (IC) for assay validation and extraction quality monitoring

The assay utilizes a single- tube multiplex Real-Time PCR format, enabling simultaneous detection of S. pneumoniae DNA and an Internal Control, ensuring reliable and accurate molecular diagnosis.

Why Streptococcus pneumoniae Testing Matters

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive, spherical, aerotolerant anaerobic bacterium belonging to the genus Streptococcus. It commonly colonizes the upper respiratory tract of healthy individuals without causing symptoms. However, in vulnerable populations—including young children, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised patients—it can become invasive and cause serious disease.

Typical clinical manifestations include fever, chills, persistent cough, rapid breathing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Because these symptoms often overlap with those caused by other respiratory pathogens, rapid molecular identification is essential for timely treatment and improved patient outcomes.

The S. PNEUMONIA-Q Real-Time PCR Kit helps laboratories to:

Targets Detected

Qualitative Targets
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae DNA
Internal Control (IC)
  • The assay incorporates an Internal Control detected in the HEX/VIC channel, which monitors:
    DNA extraction efficiency
  • PCR amplification performance
  • Assay integrity
  • Detection of amplification failure

Applications

The kit is ideal for clinical molecular laboratories performing:

Pneumoniae-Q Real-Time PCR Kit
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae molecular detection
  • Early diagnosis of pneumococcal infections
  • Routine respiratory pathogen testing
  • Point-of-care molecular diagnostics
  • Hospital and emergency infectious disease testing
