The sample-to-result time is ~15 minutes.The assay is performed on the cobas® Liat® System. The System automates and integrates sample purification, nucleic acid amplification, and detection of the target sequence in biological samples using real-time PCR. The assay targets a well-conserved region of the Strep A genome. An Internal Process Control (IPC) is also included. The IPC is present to control for adequate processing of the target bacteria through all steps of the assay process and to monitor the presence of inhibitors in the sample preparation and PCR.The cobas® Liat® Analyzer consists of an instrument with integrated software for running tests and analyzing the results. The System consists of the Analyzer and a single-use disposable cobas® Strep A assay tube that contains the nucleic acid purification and PCR reagents, and hosts the sample preparation and PCR processes. Other than adding the sample to the cobas® Strep A assay tube, no reagent preparation or additional steps are required. Because each cobas® Strep A assay tube is self-contained, the risk of cross-contamination between samples is reduced.
