NG-Test® CARBA 5 has been evaluated and validated worldwide on more than 2000 clinical samples. Numerous publications in prestigious peer-reviewed journals have already highlighted the excellent performance and the relevance of this assay.
In partnership with the CEA (French atomic energy commission) and the AP-HP (Paris Public Hospitals), NG Biotech (France) designs and manufactures innovative analysis solutions meeting the needs of rapidity, simplicity, performance, and simultaneous detection of various biomarkers to better tackle antimicrobial resistance which is a global public health threat.
NG Biotech's star product, NG-Test® CARBA 5, is used to detect and characterise the five main carbapenemases (OXA-48-like, KPC, NDM, VIM and IMP), which are the molecules secreted by the bacteria inhibiting the action of the carbapenem class of antibiotics, considered as last resort drugs.
"This assay is already fighting against antimicrobial resistance in over 50 countries."
NG-Test® CARBA 5 is a unique multiplex test which provides results in 5 to 15 minutes from bacteria culture or directly from positive blood culture using the NG-Test® Blood Culture Prep kit.
