How does the gFAST work?
The gFAST reagent pouch stores all the necessary reagents for sample preparation, reverse transcription, PCR and detection in a freeze-dried format. Sample is collected in Cary Blair transport medium. First, the gFAST instrument extracts and purifies all nucleic acids from the sample. Next, the instrument performs a nested multiplex PCR. During the first-stage PCR, the gFAST instrument performs a single, large volume, massively multiplexed reaction. Last, individual singleplex second-stage PCR reactions detect the products from the first stage PCR. Using endpoint melting curve data, the instrument‘s software automatically generates a result for each target in a single report.
