Single thermal protocol
The same thermal cycle across the kit family. Whether the target is DNA or RNA, the user does not set up a new protocol for each kit.
→ Parallel multi-kit runs on the same instrument, no protocol switching.
The next-generation platform for multiplex diagnostics.
We translate multiplex real-time PCR technology into the clinical laboratory workflow. A single thermal protocol, a single standard and a consistent user experience across the kit family — a digital diagnostic workflow integrated with its software.
Uniqplex designs multiplex real-time PCR as a platform — a single thermal cycle, a single positive control and the same user experience across all Ant Biotech kits. The seven points below are the concrete differences that set the laboratory workflow apart from ordinary PCR.
The same thermal cycle across the kit family. Whether the target is DNA or RNA, the user does not set up a new protocol for each kit.
→ Parallel multi-kit runs on the same instrument, no protocol switching.
A single positive control formula applies to all kits. There is no need to maintain a separate PC stock or track expiry dates for each kit.
→ Streamlined consumables management, simple cold chain.
With the UMS plate editor you can assign samples from different kits on the same plate and run them in a single run. No need to batch samples.
→ Patients do not wait for results, the lab leaves no empty wells.
In quantitative kits the standard curve is generated automatically and the copies/mL result is reported with a single click. No manual formula entry.
→ No calculation errors, no transcription errors.
Serial results for the same patient are tracked together; the viral load trend is displayed as a graph. A single screen for transplant follow-up and antiviral response.
→ One patient, many time points, one window.
Even in qualitative kits, UMS converts the Cq value into "high / medium / low load" categories. The clinician gains information beyond positive/negative.
→ A single detection informs more clinical decisions.
Kit reagents come ready in a breakable plate format. No pre-mixing, aliquoting or calculations — add the sample and run.
→ Fewer user errors, shorter set-up time.
An internal control co-amplified in every well on the HEX channel — β-Globin or RNase P. Extraction success, presence of cellular material and PCR inhibition are verified automatically.
→ Minimal false-negative risk, validation in every reaction.
All kits run on the same Uniqplex platform; the clinician selects the category according to the answer sought in the sample.
Broad panels and target-specific tests for upper and lower respiratory tract infections. COVID-19, Influenza A/B, RSV, Adenovirus and more.
Differential diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis and chronic GI infections. A 26-target multiplex panel plus standalone C. difficile, H. pylori and more.
Sexually transmitted pathogen screening and HPV genotyping. Covering a broad range from cervical cancer screening to mucocutaneous infections.
Aetiology of meningitis/encephalitis and neurotropic viral infections. A 14-target multiplex panel from CSF plus single-target HSV and more.
Quantitative (copies/mL) viral load monitoring — surveillance of immunosuppressed patients, reactivation monitoring and chronic viral infections.
Invasive fungal infections — particularly surveillance of immunosuppressed, post-transplant and intensive-care patients. Species-specific detection.
Systemic bacterial infections and surveillance-focused viral pathogens — sepsis, atypical pneumonia, pertussis, group A streptococcus and more.
The Uniqplex kit family is undergoing the (EU) 2017/746 IVDR conformity assessment process. SGS Belgium NV (Notified Body NB 1639), with whom a written agreement has been signed in accordance with IVDR Annex VII Section 4.3; the formal application has been completed.
(EU) 2024/1860 provides for transition provisions — kit supply and clinical use continue without interruption, and clinical laboratories continue to use existing Uniqplex kits with confidence. Once full IVDR-CE certification is obtained, kit labels and documentation are updated accordingly.
