Pro-Amp™: High-Complexity Isothermal PCR Panels for Infectious Disease Diagnostics
Pro-Lab Diagnostics USA offers a comprehensive menu of Pro-Amp™ isothermal nucleic acid amplification panels designed for use in high-complexity, CLIA-certified laboratories. These panels support the development and deployment of Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) targeting a wide range of infectious diseases, including:
- Women’s health (vaginitis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, STIs, UTIs)
- Respiratory tract infections
- Wound and skin pathogens
- Gastrointestinal infections
- Antibiotic resistance gene detection
Utilizing advanced isothermal amplification technology, Pro-Amp™ enables rapid, accurate, and scalable molecular testing workflows with results available in under 24 hours. This platform supports customizable assay design, multiplex capability, and integration with automated or semi-automated lab systems, making it ideal for labs conducting real-time infectious disease surveillance, clinical diagnostics, and epidemiological research.
All panels are validated under high-complexity CLIA conditions and are designed for flexible LDT implementation, empowering molecular laboratories to stay ahead of emerging pathogens and antimicrobial resistance trends.
Certainly. While Pro-Amp™ is a proprietary platform developed by your lab and may not yet be cited in published literature, the following peer-reviewed references and regulatory guidance support the scientific validity and clinical relevance of:
- Isothermal amplification
- LDT use in high-complexity CLIA labs
- Molecular testing for infectious disease panels
