Xpert HemosIL

The First Fully Integrated, Real-Time PCR for FII G20210A and FV Leiden Genotyping

The Xpert® HemosIL FII & FV kit is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic genotyping test for the rapid detection of Factor II (G20210A) and FV Leiden (G1691A) single-point mutations from sodium citrate or EDTA anticoagulated whole blood. Xpert HemosIL FII & FV is distributed exclusively by Werfen Group.

Self-contained, Fully Integrated, Real-time PCR Offers Efficiency for the Lab and Enhances Service to Physicians and Patients

Simple:

  • DNA extraction, amplification and detection in one cartridge
  • No specialized personnel or lab facilities required
  • Run daily or weekly, with complete thrombophilia panel

Fast:

  • FII and FV genotyping in approximately 30 minutes
  • No wait-time to obtain complete thrombophilia work-up

Cost-efficient:

  • Avoids expensive "send-outs" to reference labs

Technology:

  • Each cartridge contains freeze-dried beads with all the necessary components for PCR: DNA polymerase, nucleotides, primers and scorpions
  • Scorpions include probes and primers specific for FII and FV normal and mutated DNA
  • Each scorpion sequence is labeled with a specific fluorophore
  • Through the PCR cycles, the specific binding of the scorpion sequence to the target mutation is detected by the system in real-time
