IMDx™ VanR for Abbott m2000™
Robust qualitative detection of the presence of the vanA and vanB genes that can be associated with Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus
The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay is an in vitro polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
assay for the qualitative detection of nucleic acids encoding vanA and vanB vancomycin
resistance genes directly from human peri-rectal or rectal swabs or stool samples from
patients at risk for Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) colonization.
Pioneering Science
• The selection of conserved regions of vanA and vanB genes provides for the robust and
accurate detection of vanA and vanB vancomycin resistance genes in human peri-rectal
or rectal swabs or stool samples
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
IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000
• Detects the two most clinically significant genotypes: vanA and vanB.
• Quick sample preparation reduces hands-on time.
• Automated sample processing using the Abbott m2000sp allows for higher throughput capability.
