Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus Version 1 Assays Discontinued
The Staph/Pseudo Multiplex assay (PN 420138), along with the individual Staph and Pseudo singleplex assays (P/Ns 420136 and 420137) are discontinued and replaced by a newer multiplexed kit.
PathoSEEK® P. aeruginosa & S. aureus Multiplex Detection Assay v2 with MaGiC Lysis Kit (P/N 420526)
Launched in 2025, the PathoSEEK® P. aeruginosa & S. aureus Multiplex Detection Assay v2 with MaGiC Lysis Kit differentiates Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas in a single qPCR reaction. Staphylococcus aureus is detected on the FAM channel and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is detected on the Cy5 channel eliminating the need for further speciation.

Validation
The new assay kit (PN 420526) has been validated for use with MGC's MaGiC Lysis, which offers a faster and more streamlined process compared to the previous SenSATIVAx method.
The new method also introduces Buffered Peptone Water as an alternative enrichment media to Tryptic Soy Broth and the below validation studies show their equivalence.
Finally, the method was thoroughly tested by a third party for USP equivalence and that report is available below.

Compatibility
The The PathoSEEK® P. aeruginosa & S. aureus Multiplex Detection Assay v2 and amplification mix are compatible with the SenSATIVAx DNA Purification kit. The Staph and Pseudo Multiplex v2 Assay Kit (with Amplification Mix) can be ordered without MaGiC Lysis. SenSATIVAx will need to be ordered separately.
