Fast-track Diagnostics is a diagnostics company that develops multiplex real-time PCR to detect a wide range of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Our 26 kits detect over 80 different pathogens causing infectious diseases. We design and develop multiplex RT-PCR assays allowing simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens in one experiment. Our kits are based on the syndromic approach: respiratory, gastrointestinal infections and others. 20 of our kits are currently CE labeled. In addtion to our product list we are launching in April 2012 the new BACTERIA portfolio for detection of meningitis, pneumonia and gastroenteritis that also allows the direct quantification of positive samples. All assays are run using identical extraction and pipetting protocols as well as the same thermal cycling programme for a more efficient use of real time PCR machines. We offer test flexibility in extraction methods, cycler types and enzymes. All tests include optimised primer/probe mixes, internal, negative and positive controls. All kits follow the same workflow in order to combine the detection of different pathogens in one experimental setup.

Pilots Point LLC, Sarasota, Florida develops easy-to-use, sensitive and specific epidemiology microbiology tests based on classical phenotypic principles. It does this by successfully combining engineering with microbiology (see www.pilotspoint.net). Pilots Point’s first success was the Colilert® and Enterolert®, now worldwide standards. Now there are four epidemiology tools: one for all S. aureus (AureusAlert®); one for MRSA (EPI-M™); one for VRE (EPI-V™) and one for the specific sampling of the environment (MRSA!Alert™), e.g. spas and hotels. Each is in powder form and stable for one year at room temperature. Simply hydrate the powder, add the sample and, in hours, a particular colour change specifically demonstrates the presence of the target bacterium. An inexpensive instrument is also available.
