RealStar® Product Range

Be flexible with our open Real-Time PCR assays and benefit from our long-term experience in molecular diagnostics and the broad range of RealStar® PCR kits and reagent systems with compatibility to various real-time PCR instruments.

RealStar® Reagents

All RealStar® PCR reagents are designed to amplify and detect pathogen specific DNA or RNA by real-time PCR. They contain several components and use fluorescence measurement for the detection and quantification of the amplified nucleic acids.

Kit components of all ready-to use assays

The RealStar® PCR assays are ready to use kits and reagent systems which consist of master reagents containing enzyme, buffer, primer and probes as well as an internal control, PCR grade water and a positive control or quantification standards. These test systems were developed and validated to be use with various real-time PCR instruments.

RealStar® Pathogen Panels

altona Diagnostics offers a broad portfolio focused in the field of infectious disease testing, established as pathogen panels. This enables the parallel identification of human pathogens which cause different diseases but show often similar symptoms. Learn more about the five established altona Diagnostics pathogen panels.

Parallel pathogen testing with RealStar® PCR Kits (RUO/CE)

The central advantage of the RealStar® PCR Kits is the simultaneous pathogen testing of infectious agents in highly standardized platforms. This method is helpful for one sample screening by harmonized cycling conditions for a range of possible pathogens quickly and in parallel. Read more.
