Thermo Fisher Scientific TrueMark Respiratory Panel 2.0, OpenArray plate

Applied Biosystems™ TrueMark™ Respiratory Panel 2.0, OpenArray™ Plate

The TrueMark Respiratory Panel 2.0, OpenArray plate is an efficient, easy-to-use fixed-content OpenArray plate designed for the characterization of key respiratory tract microbial targets.

This plate includes 35 TaqMan assays optimized for detection of 32 respiratory tract viral and bacterial microbes, including two assays targeting SARS-CoV-2.

Additionally, it contains control assays for:

• TaqMan Universal Extraction Control Organism (B. atrophaeus)
• TaqMan Universal RNA Spike In/Reverse Transcription (Xeno) Control
• Human RNase P RPPH1 gene

For a complete list of assays included, refer to the TrueMark Respiratory Panel 2.0, OpenArray plate product information sheet.

The microbial assays and the Xeno control are plated in triplicate, while the B. atrophaeus and RPPH1 assays are plated in duplicate.

Key Features

• Extensive coverage: Detects a higher number of respiratory pathogens than competitor products
• Cost-effective workflow: Lowest cost per sample among commercially available molecular solutions
• Multiple sample types: Compatible with nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and nasopharyngeal aspirate
• High throughput: Process up to 24 samples per plate

Description

Each OpenArray plate is a microscope slide–sized stainless steel plate with 3,072 wells for individual 33-nL reactions where TaqMan assays are spotted.
Setup is simple: use the AccuFill system to transfer reactions to the plate, seal it, and load into the instrument for results.

TaqMan assay designs and sequences undergo rigorous bioinformatics selection and analysis to maximize strain coverage and minimize cross-reactivity. Qualified assays are performance-tested to ensure accuracy, reproducibility, and high analytical sensitivity and specificity.

The TrueMark Respiratory Panel 2.0, OpenArray plate is available as single plates and is intended for use with the AccuFill and QuantStudio 12K Flex systems.
