IMDx™ C. difficile for Abbott m2000

CE Marked

Robust and accurate detection of toxigenic C. difficile on the m2000 platform

The IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay is an in vitro polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) assay for the qualitative detection of toxigenic C. difficile toxin A
and B genes in human liquid or soft stool specimens from patients with symptoms
of C. difficile associated disease.

Pioneering Science

• Targets conserved regions within toxin A and toxin B genes of the C. difficile
genome for robust and accurate detection of toxigenic C. difficile, including
NAP1/027 hypervirulent strain and A-B+ strain 1470

Advanced Automation

• Flexible sample preparation options of 24, 48, 72 or 96 samples per run
• Extensive m2000 system test menu for infectious disease allowing for platform
consolidation

Confident Results

• Assay design philosophy optimizes probe technology and cycling parameters to produce robust results

 maxRatio data analysis performs multiple validity checks on each patient result for improved confidence in sample reporting
