Instruction for Use

The test involves a simple pre-treatment process to lyse the cell wall capsule of Gram-positive bacteria in the specimens. It takes between 1 and 10 minutes, depending on the incubation temperature. Following pre-treatment, the GenPad Smart GBS test employs fully automated processes, including RNA extraction and isothermal nucleic acid amplification using RT-SmartAmp. The analyzer detects amplification through fluorogenic oligonucleotides targeting the GBS secA gene in the reaction mixture.
